"A  good  fraternity  is  recognized  as  a  good  thing.  Those  who  have  en- 
joyed its  fellowship  understand  its  advantages.  In  those  who  have  not 
experienced  that  blessing  of  boyhood  life,  no  amount  of  argument  can  ex- 
cite an  appreciation  of  its  value.  The  closest  friendships  you  and  I  have 
to-day  were  formed  before  we  became  of  age,  in  the  walls  of  our  chapter 
house.  Age,  occupation,  distance,  separation,  new  associations,  have  no 
influence  upon  friendships  that  are  formed  under  such  circumstances. 
You  may  not  have  seen  him  for  a  third  of  a  century;  you  may  not  have 
heard  his  name  for  a  generation;  the  path  of  his  life  may  have  led  him  to 
the  Antipodes,  but,  when  you  come  face  to  face  with  a  boy  who  was  initi- 
ated with  you  on  a  frosty  autumn  night,  perhaps  with  absurd  and  silly 
ceremonies,  the  flame  that  often  burns  low,  but  can  never  be  extinguished, 
will  blaze  up  with  a  glow  that  will  warm  the  lives  of  both  of  you;  and 
you  feel  toward  each  other  a  sentiment  that  you  have  never  felt  toward 
any  man  since  the  day  you  graduated.  I  have  met  members  of  my  fra- 
ternity in  odd  corners  of  the  world.  Among  the  Taoist  temples  in  China ; 
in  the  mines  of  the  Andes ;  on  the  banks  of  the  Nile,  and  although  we 
were  strangers  before  and  have  been  strangers  since,  there  was  at  least 
a  few  moments  of  gratification  that  encounters  with  other  people  could  not 
have  inspired.  .  .  .  There  have  been  and  always  will  be,  abuses  of  the  op- 
portunities I  have  described,  but  those  who  are  familiar  with  the  history 
of  college  fraternities  and  will  take  the  trouble  to  examine  their  cata- 
logues will  find  that  the  high  character  of  the  men  who  have  been  members 
are  the  best  endorsement  of  their  advantages.  By  their  personnel  the 
Greek  Letter  Fraternities  may  justly  be  judged." — William  Elcroy  Curtis. 


OF   THE

BOLOGNA 


THE  FOUNDING   OF   KAPPA   SIGMA 


One  of  the  American  universities  of  which  our  country  should 
be  most  proud  has  recently  celebrated  with  rejoicing  the  begin- 
ning of  an  era  in  her  affairs,  in  the  inauguration  of  her  first  pres- 
ident. New  occasions  now  teach  her  new  duties,  larger  oppor- 
tunity leads  her  to  take  up  tasks  unthought-of  even  by  her  great 
first  founder,  but  by  virtue  of  her  unique  history,  her  matchless 
situation,  her  spirit  of  truth  and  honor,  and  most  of  all  by  the 
example  of  consecration  to  a  worthy  cause  which  those  men  afford 
who  have  served  her  so  long  and  so  faithfully  for  so  small  a 
material  reward,  she  remains  a  blessing  and  a  hope  to  all  the 
region  which  receives  good  influences  from  her  benign  hand. 
She  will  continue  to  influence  all  that  great  civilization  which  has 
flowed  in  a  stream  from  Virginia  across  the  South  and  West, 
as  Harvard  and  Yale  have  influenced  that  civilization  which  has 
gone  out  from  New  England  to  the  Northwest,  and  met  the  other 
upon  the  Pacific  coast. 

The  history  of  such  an  institution,  even  the  history  of  its  be- 
ginning, is  not  a  mere  matter  of  an  act  of  legislature,  or  of  the 
transfer  of  some  millions  from  one  account  to  another  and  the 
commissioning  of  an  architect  to  make  a  new  mixture  of  the  old 
and  the  new.  For  the  history  of  the  University  of  Virginia 
there  would  be  scant  room  in  a  manual  of  this  size.  Amid  circum- 
stances as  romantic  as  ever  surrounded  the  birth  of  any  such  or- 
der, Kappa  Sigma  came  into  existence ;  the  only  college  frater- 
nity of  general  extent  to  which  the  University  of  Virginia  stands 
in  loco  parentis.  There  could  be  no  nobler  mother  among  the 
universities ;  and  it  is  not  those  Kappa  Sigmas  alone  who  have 
stood  beneath  the  Rotunda  and  lived  on  Lawns  and  Ranges,  who 


12  THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 

feel  pride  and  satisfaction  at  the  influence,  progress  and  prosperity 
of  Old  Virginia. 

When,  in  1868,  William  Grigsby  McCormick,  of  Chicago  and 
Baltimore,  entered  the  University  of  Virginia,  he  found  there  a 
college  system  and  a  college  life  which  could  have  been  at  no  time 
paralleled  anywhere  in  the  North,  nor,  in  all  respects,  even  in  the 
South.  Many  of  the  students  were  men  in  years,  and  every  one 
was  such  in  spirit  and  in  mental  development.  Many  had  seen 
the  face  of  war.  The  most  punctilious  rites  of  gentlemanly  in- 
tercourse, between  student  and  student  and  between  students  and 
faculty,  were  observed,  and  insisted  upon  by  an  inflexible  senti- 
ment. The  system  of  the  university's  government  left  much  to 
the  choice  of  the  individual  student,  asking  only  that  his  con- 
duct should  be  regulated  by  a  keen  sense  of  honor,  as  the  chival- 
rous and  convivial  South  interpreted  that  word.  In  some  sec- 
tions of  the  country,  many  of  the  students  would  have  been  classed 
as  roaring  young  blades ;  in  other  sections  they  might  not  have 
received  so  indulgent  a  title.  Much  went  on  that  would  have 
caused  Cambridge  to  put  up  its  shutters  or  New  Haven  to  bar  its 
doors.  Yet  that  there  was  true  metal  under  all  the  polish,  manly 
integrity  under  all  the  youthful  exuberance,  not  the  South  alone 
makes  answer;  for  wherever  there  is  a  Virginia  man  from  these 
buoyant  years,  there  is  an  honored  citizen  whose  worth  compels 
his  fellows'  confidence. 

The  association  of  McCormick  with  Frank  Courtney  Nicodemus 
and  Edmund  Law  Rogers  had  begun  in  Baltimore,  the  home  of 
all  three  and  the  birthplace  of  the  latter  two.  When  the  circle 
of  friendship  which  enclosed  these  three  was  found,  almost  with- 
out their  knowledge  and  wholly  without  their  premeditation,  to 
have  included  two  others,  George  Miles  Arnold  and  John  Covert 
Boyd,  within  itself,  the  Fraternity  had  its  new  birth.  The  adop- 
tion of  its  historical  and  traditional  name  and  ritualistic  basis  was 
a  matter  only  of  detail ;  its  oath  was  merely  the  putting  in  words 
of  vows  already  realized  in  the  lives  of  the  founders ;  its  future 
extension  was  yet  upon  the  knees  of  the  gods.  Adopting  to  some 
extent  a  form  suggested  by  the  customs  of  the  student  life  in 
which  they  had  a  part,  the  Five  Friends  and  Brothers  organized 
the  Kappa  Sigma  Fraternity.

THE  FOUNDING  OF  KAPPA  SIGMA 


From  the  classic  Rotunda  which  forms  the  center  of  Virginia's 
noble  group  of  buildings,  four  colonnades,  broken  at  intervals 
by  taller  structures,  and  modeled  in  every  detail  after  the  most 
authentic  works  of  Grecian  skill,  stretch  toward  the  south.  As 
severely  simple  within  as  they  were  severely  classic  without,  the 
rooms  intended  for  the  use  of  students  had  one  attractive  feature 
— the  great  fireplace,  for  the  filling  of  which  there  was  as  yet  no 
lack  of  oaken  logs.  In  every  chimney-corner  a  sheaf  of  long  clay 
pipes  betokened  and  invited  brotherly  intercourse.  During  his 
first  year  at  the  University,  William  Grigsby  McCormick  had

occupied  a  room  (the  front  lower  room  of  cottage  C)  in  Dawson's 
Row,  a  group  of  dormitories  just  outside  the  main  plan  of  the 
University  buildings.  In  1869  he  occupied  the  room  at  46  East 
Lawn,  the  situation  of  which,  its  present  exterior  and  interior,  is 
shown  in  the  accompanying  illustrations.  The  taller  structure 
at  the  immediate  right  of  46  East  Lawn  in  the  view  given  is  now, 
by  the  way,  the  residence  of  a  Kappa  Sigma,  William  Minor  Lile, 
the  dean  of  the  law  school  of  the  University.  Samuel  Isham 
North  and  George  Miles  Arnold  occupied  this  room  in  1870-71. 
It  was  here  that  the  first  Constitution  and  Ritual  of  Kappa  Sigma, '

a  document  which  lies  before  the  writer  of  these  lines,  was  com- 
mitted to  writing. 

The  Founders  were  scattered  about  the  university,  so  far  as 
their  "legal  residences"  were  concerned.  Xicodemus  was  at  6 
West  Range ;  Boyd  and  Rogers,  as  well  as  John  E.  Semmes,  who 
was  the  first  one  added  to  the  brotherhood  after  the  original  five, 
lived  in  "Social  Hall,"  a  small  dormitory  between  the  University 
proper  and  the  town  of  Charlottesville.    This  house  was  so  packed

S.  C.  Upstairs,  Edmund  Law  Rogers  occupied  a  room,  and 
others  on  the  same  floor  were  John  X.  Steele,  now  an  eminent

Baltimore  lawyer  and  a  partner  of  John  E.  Semmes,  and  his 
brother,  I.  Nevitt  Steele,  now  of  Trinity  Church,  New  York. 
George  Miles  Arnold  had  a  room  on  East  Range;  and  when, 
early  in  1870,  he  met  Samuel  Isham  North  upon  the  latter's  ar- 
rival at  the  University  from  his  Texas  home,  a  great  friendship 
sprang  suddenly  into  immortal  life.  "The  loveliest  character  I 
ever  met,"  is  North's  judgment  upon  his  friend  and  brother,  after 
all  the  years.     The  reception  of  North  into  the  new  brotherhood 


INTERIOR  OF  46  EAST  LAWN,   UNIVERSITY  OF  VIRGINIA 


followed  almost  as  a  matter  of  course.  The  members  were  al- 
ways together.  Such  intimacies  as  existed  within  their  number, 
like  that  between  Arnold  and  North,  were  not  allowed  to  disturb 
the  general  feeling  of  perfect  fellowship.  Formal  meetings  there 
seem  to  have  been  none.  "Good  fellows,  good  company,  good 
manners,  good  morals  and  bright  minds,  full  of  spirits  and  all  in 
for  a  good  time,"  is  Founder  McCormick's  description  of  them 
after  a  quarter  of  a  century.  Arnold  was  a  leading  spirit  in  the 
proceedings  of  the  Fraternity,  and  at  the  suppers  at  "Brown's" 


THE  FOUNDING  OF  KAPPA  SIGMA  17 

and  "Ambroselli's,"  which  were  frequent  occurrences.  These  fes- 
tive gatherings  were  from  the  first  a  distinguishing  feature  of 
the  new  Fraternity,  and  those  Kappa  Sigmas — and  their  name 
is  legion — who  are  bons  vivants  and  whose  wit  flows  most  freely 
around  the  festal  board,  may  be  assured  that  these  characteristics 
stamp  them  the  true  descendants  of  their  forefathers  in  the  Or- 
der, of  whom,  by  the  way,  there  was  but  one  who  ever  took  too 
much  wine,  and  not  one  who  gave  his  strength  to  that  which  de- 
stroyeth  kings.  Edmund  Law  Rogers  is  remembered  as  one 
whose  light  always  shone  brightly  at  these  impromptu  affairs,  and 
the  rest  were  not  behindhand.  If  the  record  of  these  proceedings 
but  existed,  some  chapters  might  be  added  to  the  "Noctes  Am- 
brosianae." 

The  question  of  a  badge  was  very  early  taken  up  by  the  newly- 
formed  Fraternity,  and  after  much  discussion,  the  design  due  to 
Edmund  Law  Rogers  was  adopted.  It  is  in  every  detail  the  same 
as  the  present  badge,  save  that  the  original  examples  were  not 
so  markedly  convex  as  those  now  made,  and  had  a  field  of  white 
enamel  in  the  center  of  the  star  instead  of  the  present  black. 
The  original  constitution  includes  the  full  description  of  the 
badge  and  the  signification  of  its  various  parts  and  of  the  em- 
blems borne  upon  it.  At  the  Christmas  holidays  of  1869,  an 
order  for  badges  was  placed  with  the  Baltimore  firm  of  Sadtler 
&  Sons,  who  had  the  work  executed  in  New  York.  After  the 
holidays,  the  Star  and  Crescent  of  Kappa  Sigma  was  seen  at 
Virginia  for  the  first  time.  Badges  of  this  early  make  still 
exist,  in  the  possession  of  George  Leiper  Thomas,  Samuel 
lsham  North,  Mrs.  William  Clark  Whitford,  and  possibly  others, 
and  one  is  seen  on  another  page  in  the  portrait  of  Sam- 
uel lsham  North.  They  were  one  inch  in  diameter,  and  were 
originally  furnished  with  a  guard-chain  and  a  chapter-pin  of  the 
letter  Zeta.  The  chapter-pin  has  of  late  years  been  generally 
abandoned,  and  the  extreme  size  now  allowable  for  the  badge 
is  three-quarters  of  an  inch. 

The  end  of  the  college  year  '69-'70  put  an  end,  for  a  time,  to 
the  close  associations  of  the  original  Five,  who  by  this  time  had 
united  with  themselves  Semmes  and  North,  as  above  stated.  In 
the   fall  of   1870,   Nicodemus   was  engaged  in  active  business, 


THE  FOUNDING  OF  KAPPA  SIGMA  19 

and  decided  not  to  pursue  his  university  work  further,  while  Mc- 
Cormick  has  recorded  the  confession  that  he  was  very  much  in 
love  with  the  present  Mrs.  McCormick  and  was  unwilling  to  sep- 
arate himself  from  her  immediate  neighborhood  by  the  distance 
intervening  between  Baltimore  and  Charlottesville.  Semmes  not 
returning  until  1872,  only  Arnold,  Boyd,  Rogers  and  North  were 
found  ready  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  Fraternity  when  the 
University  reopened.  All  of  these  were  interested  in  the  Fra- 
ternity, which  was  just  at  its  beginning,  and  willing  to  work  for 
it.  So  far  as  can  be  determined  from  the  recollections  of  those 
who  survive,  it  was  Arnold  who  had  the  rosiest  dreams  of  the 
future,  dreams  which  have  more  than  come  true.  With  his  as- 
sociates, he  laid  the  plans  for  the  first  extension  of  the  Fraternity, 
even  assigning  in  advance  the  letters  by  which  certain  Chapters 
should  be  designated ;  he  fixed  many  matters  which  had  been  left 
uncertain  in  the  free  and  informal  life  of  the  previous  year ;  and 
he  introduced  the  ritualistic  work  which,  without  any  change 
except  certain  amplifications  of  which  the  history  is  well  known 
to  Kappa  Sigmas,  still  awes  and  impresses  the  initiate  when 
rightly  performed,  and  is  pronounced  by  those  in  a  position  to 
judge  a  most  beautiful,  consistent  and  fitting  production.  The 
association  of  Samuel  Isham  North  in  this  work  with  three  of 
the  original  Five  of  the  preceding  year  gives  him  full  and  un- 
questioned right  to  the  honorable  title  of  Founder.  The  work 
of  1869  alone  could  not  have  led  to  the  present  development 
of  the  Fraternity  without  the  work  of  1870;  the  work  of  1870 
undoubtedly  had  as  its  basis  the  work  of  1869. 

Much  of  the  history  of  this  important  year  is  contained  in  the 
oldest  existing  Kappa  Sigma  minutes,  of  which  the  original  is  in 
the  possession  of  the  W.  G.  S.,  being  held  in  trust  by  that  official 
for  Zeta  Chapter.  As  the  minutes  contain  nothing  in  itself  secret, 
and  as  they  introduce  some  other  matters  which  must  be  pre- 
sented, they  are  here  given  in  full :

;m<l  .\fr.  George  L.  Thomas  whose  name  had  been  previously  proposed,  was 
then  duly  initiated  as  a  member  of  the  K.  S.  Society.  Mr.  Rogers  made  a 
motion  that  the  following  gentlemen,  Viz  Messrs.  Toadvin,  Walker  and  Hill 
be  spoken  to,  and  that  they  be  invited  to  join  our  Society.  Mr.  Hill's  name 
was  subsequently  withdrawn  information  having  been  rec'd  that  he  had  al- 
ready become  a  member  of  the  Delta  Psi  Society. 

Mr.   North  was  requested  to  speak  to  Mr.  Walker.

brother  Saml.  I  North — whose  absence  will  be  felt  so  deeply  by  all  of  us— 
After  taking  business  matters  into  consideration  we  sat  down  to  a  finely

April  30th   1871. 
We  very  much  regret  to  state  that  Brother  J.  C.  Boyd  has  left  the  Uni 
versity,  as  he  was  most  highly  esteemed  by  all  the  members  of  his  Society, 
Hoping  that  he  may  always  prosper  in  his  future  career  we  bid  him  an 
affectionate  adieu.

It  was  in  this  year  that  members  of  the  Fraternity  rented  and 
occupied  a  cottage,  the  property  of  the  famous  Latin  professor, 
Gildersleeve,  which  thereby  became  the  first  fraternity  house  of 
Kappa  Sigma,  and  apparently  the  first  fraternity  house  in  the 
South.  George  Leiper  Thomas  and  Edmund  Law  Rogers  lived 
in  it.  With  them  was  Robert  S.  McCormick  (the  present  Am- 
bassador to  France,  and  a  brother  of  William  Grigsby  McCor- 
mick), who  had  been  very  intimate  with  the  founders  of  the  year 
before  but  who  himself  became  a  member  of  Sigma  Chi.  Here 
took  place  one  act  of  the  thrilling  series  of  events  known  since  in 
the  Fraternity  as  "The  Defense  of  Miles  Arnold,"  which  served 
to  test  the  oaths  of  the  new  brotherhood  and  the  feeling  of  mu- 
tual confidence  among  the  students  of  the  LTniversity. 

To  say  that  political  and  social  conditions  in  the  South  were  at 
this  time  "unsettled"  is  to  use  as  mild  language  as  if  one  were  to 
call  Paradise  enjoyable  or  the  lower  regions  temperately  warm.

The  negro  was  "on  the  front  seat  of  the  band-wagon,"  as  a 
brother  has  put  it ;  and  the  white  citizen  who  confronted  a  colored 
man  in  any  court  had  every  presumption  against  him.  The  hot- 
blooded  Southerners  of  the  University  went  armed,  and  frequent- 
ly indulged  in  nocturnal  pistol-practice,  by  way  of  warning  to  all 
whom  it  might  concern  that  they  were  prepared  to  take  matters 
into  their  own  hands  whenever  necessary.  Miles  Arnold  was 
what  those  nourished  on  icicles  are  accustomed  to  call  a  fire- 
eater;  though  of  no  overbearing  disposition  he  had  the  temper 
which  went  with  his  nicknames  of  "the  Count"  and  "the  little 
Spaniard,"  and  he  was  never  unarmed.  On  a  bitter  day  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1 87 1,  he  had  been  several  miles  from  Charlottesville, 
across  the  Rivanna  river,  to  call  on  a  young  lady.  When  he  was 
about  to  leave  her  home,  she,  after  the  hospitable  fashion  of  the 
time,  pressed  him  to  fortify  himself  against  the  outer  cold  by  a 
sufficient  number  of  apple- jacks.  On  reaching  Charlottesville 
Arnold  seems  to  have  taken  further  similar  measures  with  the 
same  intent.  Finding  his  conduct  gratuitously  called  in  question 
by  a  son  of  Ham,  he  made  no  long  argument  of  the  matter,  but 
fired  upon  his  assailant  and  laid  him  low.  It  turned  out  that, 
owing  to  the  well-known  thickness  of  the  African  cranium,  the 
wound  was  not  mortal ;  but,  in  ignorance  of  this  fact,  and  know- 
ing that  there  was  danger  should  a  negro  mob  be  formed,  and  al- 
most equal  danger  should  he  fall  into  the  hands  of  what  in  those 
times  and  in  that  region  passed  for  law,  Arnold  at  once  sought 
his  friend  and  brother  North,  in  their  room  upon  the  University 
campus,  and  told  him  what  had  happened. 

E.  Stanley  Toadvin,  who  had  met  Arnold  as  he  came  up,  was 
at  once  dispatched  toward  the  town,  to  put  the  sheriff  and  his 
posse,  who  were  known  to  be  approaching,  on  a  false  scent  if 
possible.  North  spirited  Arnold  away  to  a  room  in  another  part 
of  the  campus,  and  sent  out  word  to  the  other  Kappa  Sigmas  and 
his  Texan  friends — many  of  whom,  owing  to  the  constant  asso- 
ciation of  North  and  Arnold,  believed  the  latter  a  Texan — to 
rally  to  his  defense.  Toadvin,  returning,  assumed  the  leadership 
of  these,  while  the  sheriff  and  posse  searched  in  Arnold's  and  the 
neighboring  rooms  in  vain.  They  then  turned  their  attention, 
perhaps  by  the   suggestion   of   some  brother   who   knew   where

Arnold  really  was,  to  the  Gildersleeve  cottage,  the  Kappa  Sigma 
house,  where  Arnold  might  be  supposed  to  have  gone. 

George  Leiper  Thomas  was  sitting  alone  in  the  lower  room  of 
the  cottage,  nursing  a  crippled  knee,  when  Robert  McCormick 
rushed  in  upon  him  and  dropped  a  loaded  shotgun  in  his  lap  with 
the  forcible  injunction  "Defend  your  fraternity  brother."  The 
situation  was  explained  in  a  few  words,  and  Thomas  was  ar- 
ranged so  as  to  form  a  battery  of  one  piece  commanding  the  front 
door  and  the  approaches  thereto.     The  door  being  opened,  Mc-

Cormick  and  Rogers  took  their  positions  outside  as  if  to  prevent 
any  approach  to  the  house  from  the  rear,  and,  on  the  coming  of 
the  sheriff,  parleyed  with  that  officer  at  great  length,  finally  con- 
vincing him  that  Arnold  was  not  in  the  house. 

Meanwhile,  it  had  been  reported  to  North  that  a  mob  of  ne- 
groes was  forming  to  search  the  University  grounds  for  Arnold. 
"Some  negroes  saved  their  lives  by  not  finding  us  that  night," 
says  Dr.  North  in  reminiscences  of  the  affair.  North's  horse, 
and  a  fresh  one  for  Arnold,  were  brought  to  the  most  retired  side

of  the  campus,  and  forty  armed  Texans  and  Kappa  Sigmas  es- 
corted Arnold  to  the  spot.  By  this  time  it  had  been  dark  for 
some  hours.  Arnold,  with  North  as  his  escort,  rode  fifteen  miles 
into  the  country,  to  the  house  of  the  grandfather  of  Arnold's 
sweetheart  whose  well-meant  prescription  of  apple-jack  had  been 
the  beginning  of  all  the  trouble.  The  two  riders  missed  the  ford 
of  the  Rivanna,  and  were  nearly  ready  to  perish  with  cold  when, 
about  two  the  next  morning,  they  reached  a  friendly  shelter. 
Arnold  went  on  to  friends  in  another  county  the  next  day,  and, 
after  some  weeks,  went  to  New  York  to  enter  a  medical  college 
there,  where  his  inseparable  friend  North  soon  joined  him.  .Ar- 
nold's resignation  as  a  student  was  accepted  by  the  Virginia  fac- 
ulty without  prejudice;  the  Ethiopian  sufferer  soon  recovered; 
and  thus  by  the  quick  wit  of  Kappa  Sigmas  what  might  have  been 
a  mournful  tragedy  was  turned  into  a  drama  to  be  a  stirring 
memory  of  years  afterward,  and  a  lesson  of  the  strength  of  a 
fraternal  obligation. 

A  month  after  the  departure  of  North,  that  of  Boyd  is  re- 
corded. The  work  of  the  Chapter,  as  it  may  now  be  called,  ap- 
pears to  have  ended  for  the  year  with  the  loss  of  three  of  the 
Founders  in  succession. 

The  rest  belongs  to  the  early  history  of  the  Fraternity  and  of 
Zeta  Chapter.  Let  that  which  is  here  set  down  suffice  to  show 
that  American  Kappa  Sigma  sprang  from  no  rivalry,  discontent 
or  disappointment,  but  solely  from  the  free  spirit  of  brotherhood 
in  loyal  hearts.  Already  plans  are  being  considered  to  celebrate, 
in  1919,  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  founding  and  to  make  the 
event  unparalleled  among  such  fetes.

THE   FOUNDERS    OF    KAPPA   SIGMA 

It  is  said  that  Boston  asks  concerning  a  stranger,  "What  does 
he  know?"  New  York,  "How  much  is  he  worth?"  Philadelphia, 
"Who  was  his  grandfather?"  and  Washington,  "What  can  he 
do?"  The  founders  of  Kappa  Sigma  could  pass  this  whole  exam- 
ination with  credit.  The  too  early  death  of  two  of  the  original 
Five  Friends  and  Brothers  cut  short  lives  in  which  the  spirit  of  a 
noble  ancestry  was  fully  shown ;  the  founders  who  survive  are 
honored  citizens  whose  worthy  achievements  in  widely  various 
walks  of  life  exemplify  the  catholic  scope  of  the  Fraternity  which 
they  founded.  The  true  romance  of  the  Founding  having  been 
told  in  the  preceding  chapter,  as  fully  as  it  can  ever  be  given  to 
the  general  public,  it  remains  to  show  who  the  Founders  were 
and  to  tell  the  story  of  their  later  lives. 


WILLIAM  GRIGSBY  McCORMICK 

A  volume  of  four  hundred  seventy-eight  pages  (Ancestral 
Record  and  Biography  of  the  McCormick  Family :  By  Leander 
James  McCormick.  Chicago,  1896)  is  required  to  display  the 
ramifications,  in  Pennsylvania,  Kentucky  and  Virginia,  of  this 
fine  old  Irish  Presbyterian  family,  of  the  self-same  breed  as 
their  fellow-countymen  who,  settling  in  Augusta  county,  Vir- 
ginia, gave  America  scores  of  her  generals  and  statesmen.  It 
is  possible  to  mention  here  only  that  branch  of  the  McCormicks, 
celebrated  in  our  national  annals  for  a  hundred  years,  from  which 
our  founder  comes ;  a  line  known  not  alone  for  its  enormous 
wealth,  but  also  for  the  genius  displayed  by  it  in  other  fields  than 
those  of  mere  money  making,  and  for  its  alliances  with  people 
distinguished  otherwise  than  by  their  material  possessions ;  and

among  the  families  of  American  multimillionaires,  the  only  one 
which  traces  its  origin  to  the  South. 

The  first  of  the  name  to  become  world-famous  was  Robert 
McCormick  (1780- 1846),  the  inventor,  who  laid  the  foundation 
of  the  family  fortunes.  He  lived  at  "Walnut  Grove,"  Augusta 
county,  Virginia,  an  estate  of  two  thousand  acres  into  which  he 
came  by  inheritance.  Among  his  eight  sons  and  daughters  were 
Cyrus  H.  McCormick,  the  Chicago  inventor  and  financier,  whose 
daughter   married   Emmons    Blaine    (son   of  James   G.    Blaine),

and  whose  son  married  Edith  Rockefeller  (daughter  of  John  D. 
Rockefeller)  ;  Leander  J.  McCormick,  who  gave  the  McCormick 
observatory  to  the  University  of  Virginia ;  and  William  Sanderson 
McCormick,  allied  with  his  brothers  in  the  perfecting  of  the  great 
inventions  which  influenced  the  agricultural  development  of  a 
world.  William  S.  McCormick  married  Mary  Ann  Grigsby, 
daughter  of  Col.  Reuben  Grigsby,  of  "Hickory  Hill,"  Rockbridge 
county,  Virginia,  and  cousin  of  Hugh  Blair  Grigsby,  a  celebrated 
president  of  William  and  Mary  College.     Of  this  union,  the  sec-

ond  born  was  William  Grigsby  McCormick,  Founder  of  Kappa 
Sigma,  whose  elder  brother,  Robert  S.  McCormick,  late  Am- 
bassador to  France,  married  a  daughter  of  Joseph  Medill,  the  man 
who  made  the  Chicago  Tribune.  A  son  of  Robert  S.  McCormick 
married  Senator  Hanna's  daughter  Ruth ;  three  sisters  of  the 
Founder  married  into  well-known  Chicago  families ;  and  the  im- 
portant alliances  formed  by  various  members  of  the  third  and 
fourth  generations  are  too  numerous  to  be  mentioned  here. 

William  Grigsby  McCormick  was  born  June  3,  1851,  in  the 
McCormick  home  in  Chicago,  on  Cass  and  Illinois  streets.  After 
receiving  his  primary  education  in  private  schools  of  the  city, 
he  was  a  student  in  the  preparatory  department  of  the  old  Uni- 
versity of  Chicago.  His  mother,  widowed  in  1865,  soon  after- 
ward removed  to  Baltimore,  from  which  city  young  McCormick 
went  in  October,  1868,  to  the  University  of  Virginia,  returning 
to  that  University  in  1869.  There  the  associations,  already  be- 
gun in  the  case  of  some  of  the  founders,  developed,  as  we  have 
seen,  into  the  Fraternity. 

Leaving  the  University  of  Virginia  in  May,  1870,  he  spent  six 
months  in  foreign  travel,  accompanied  by  his  brother  Robert 
and  by  a  cousin.  England,  Ireland,  Scotland  and  the  Continent 
were  visited.  Returning  to  Baltimore  in  November  of  the  same 
year,  young  McCormick  followed  his  natural  bent  by  associating 
himself  with  the  banking  house  of  John  S.  Gittings  &  Co.,  in 
whose  employ  he  remained  for  two  years.  His  happy  marriage 
to  Eleanor  Brooks,  daughter  of  Walter  Booth  Brooks  (president 
of  the  Canton  Company  and  son  of  a  former  president  of  the  B. 
&  O.)  was  the  next  important  event  of  his  life.  At  this  first 
Kappa  Sigma  wedding,  which  occurred  October  23,  1873,  at  the 
Brown  Memorial  Church  of  Baltimore,  George  Leiper  Thomas 
was  a  groomsman  and  Edmund  Law  Rogers  a  guest.  Returning 
late  in  1874  from  a  year  of  foreign  travel,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  McCor- 
mick spent  a  few  months  in  Baltimore,  removing  in  February. 
1875,  to  Chicago. 

Brother  McCormick  now  entered  upon  the  active  business  ca- 
reer which  continued  until  his  retirement  in  1900.  As  a  member 
of  the  firm  of  McCormick  Bros.  &  Findlay,  and  later  of  W.  G. 
McCormick  &  Co.,  with  offices  in  Chicago  and  New  York,  he  was

engaged  in  the  fire  insurance  and  real  estate  business  until  1884. 
In  that  year  he  became  a  member  of  the  Chicago  board  of  trade 
and  of  the  grain  and  stock  brokerage  firm  of  Smith,  McCormick 
&  Co.  In  the  following  year,  W.  G.  McCormick  became  a  mem- 
ber of  the  New  York  stock  exchange ;  and  after  some  changes  of 
business  relationships,  the  firm  of  W.  G.  McCormick  &  Co.,  hav- 
ing its  offices  in  Xew  York,  Chicago  and  St.  Louis,  was  organ- 
ized. In  1 89 1  Brother  McCormick  transferred  liis  business  in- 
terests to  the  well-known  Schwartz-Dupee  combination,  with 
which  he  was  associated  until  1893.  After  a  brief  retirement 
from  business,  he  reentered  the  arena  in  1894  as  a  partner  in  the 
widely-known  and  successful  firm  of  Price,  McCormick  &  Co., 
which  firm  was  terminated  in  1900.  Brother  McCormick's  only 
active  entrance  into  politics  was  in  1880,  when,  against  his  ex- 
pressed wish,  friends  placed  him  on  the  Democratic  ticket  for  al- 
derman from  the  eighteenth  ward  of  the  city  of  Chicago,  a  ward 
which  had  not  elected  a  Democrat  for  more  than  twenty  years. 
Brother  McCormick  was  elected,  to  the  surprise  of  many  political 
wiseacres  of  the  city. 

He  is  well-known  in  the  principal  cities  of  the  world,  and  has 
many  friends  in  both  hemispheres.  He  is  a  member  of  no  secret 
order  except  the  Kappa  Sigma  Fraternity.  He  is  or  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Chicago,  Union,  Athletic  and  Washington  Park 
clubs  of  Chicago,  the  Union,  Manhattan  and  Whist  clubs  of  New 
York,  the  Pickwick  club  of  New  Orleans,  the  Alston  and  Mary- 
land clubs  of  Baltimore,  and  the  Kennel  club  of  Baltimore  county, 
Maryland.  The  pictures  of  Brother  McCormick  accompanying 
this  volume  are  the  only  ones  he  has  ever  given  out  for  publication 
anywhere. 

Seven  children,  of  whom  six  are  living,  have  been  born  to  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  McCormick.  One  of  the  four  daughters  married  Her- 
bert S.  Stone,  the  Chicago  publisher,  son  of  Melville  E.  Stone, 
manager  of  the  Associated  Press.  A  son,  Walter  Brooks  Mc- 
Cormick, is  vice-president  and  general  manager  of  the  McCormick 
Coal  Company,  of  Kansas,  one  of  his  father's  enterprises ;  the 
other  son,  Chauncey  Brooks  McCormick,  is  a  Yale  '07  man  and 
a  member  of  Alpha  Delta  Phi.     Since  the  retirement  of  Brother

GEORGE  MILES  ARNOLD 

The  father  of  George  Miles  Arnold  was  George  Anson  Ar- 
nold, a  native  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  and  son  of  Dr.  George  Arnold,  of 
Newport,  R.  I.,  who  came  of  a  family  well-known  in  that  section. 
George  Anson  Arnold  married  Mary  Antoinette  Filkins,  cele- 


brated beauty  of  Troy,  and  engaged  in  a  wholesale  business  in 
Mobile,  Ala.,  where  he  prospered.  On  one  of  the  Arnolds'  yearly 
visits  to  Troy,  George  Miles  Arnold  was  born,  August  27,  1851. 
After  receiving  his^ first  training  at  the  Union  Hill  boarding 
school,  Monroe  county,  N.  Y.,  and  at  Dr.  Davis'  academy  for 
boys,  Bloomfield,  N.  J.,  Arnold  entered  the  academic  depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Virginia  in  1869,  his  chief  studies 
being  Latin,  French  and  mathematics.  Small  but  well  built, 
speaking  French,  Spanish  and  Italian  fluently,  he  was  a  typical 
young  Southerner  of  those  stirring  times.  Although  carrying 
no  Spanish  blood,  nevertheless,  on  account  of  his  proficient 
knowledge  of  the  language,  he  was  known  to  his  friends  and

admirers  as  "the  little  Spaniard."  From  students  of  Kappa  Sig- 
ma history  he  has  later  received  the  title  of  "the  first  S.  A.  Jack- 
son." All  the  surviving  founders  agree  in  praise  of  his  devotion 
from  the  first  to  the  cause  of  the  Fraternity.  "H,e  gave  nearly 
his  whole  time  to  the  society,"  says  one.  In  the  summer  of  1870, 
he  began,  with  Samuel  Isham  North,  his  nearest  and  dearest 
friend  even  within  Kappa  Sigma,  a  course  in  medicine  at  the 
University,  under  Harrison,  the  famous  and  beloved  professor. 


About  1870 


In  February,  1871,  the  occurrence  elsewhere  related  made  it 
necessary  for  his  friends  and  brothers  to  protect  him  from  the 
consequences  of  a  rash  and  hasty  act,  and  caused  his  withdrawal 
from  the  University — the  authorities,  after  investigation,  accept- 
ing his  resignation  as  a  student  and  dismissing  him  with  a  clear 
record. 

He  shortly  entered  the  medical  college  of  New  York  University, 
and  by  the  end  of  the  scholastic  year  1872,  had  completed  the 
medical  course  according  to  the  requirements  of  the  time.  Being 
still  under  age,  his  degree  was  not  conferred  upon  him  until  the 


36  THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 

following  year,  1873.  He  studied  at  Bellevue  Hospital  medical 
college  in  i8y2-'y^,  and  received  a  diploma  also  from  this  insti- 
tution. He  also  served  for  a  time  as  resident  physician  at  the  E. 
and  P.  Hospital,  Bedford  Island,  and  in  1873  began  to  practice. 
Later  he  was  resident  physician  at  the  Convalescent  Hospital, 
Hart's  Island,  and,  having  become  a  Master  Mason  of  Lebanon 
lodge  in  1873,  was  in  i874-'75  vice-president  and  examining 
physician  of  the  Washington  Masonic  Mutual  Benefit  Associa- 
tion, of  New  York. 

Founder  Arnold's  marriage  occurred  on  September  8,   1874, 


at  the  Jane  St.  M.  E.  church,  New  York,  the  officiating  minister 
being  the  Rev.  Dr.  Hamlin.  The  bride  was  Miss  Minnie  J.  Law, 
daughter  of  Robert  J.  Law,  a  wealthy  real  estate  owner  of  the 
city,  a  Mason,  and  a  veteran  of  the  Civil  War,  being  one  of  the 
first  to  go  out  with  the  New  York  Seventh.  For  a  number  of 
years  the  Arnolds  resided  at  105  east  71st  St.,  New  York,  and 
their  home  was  a  meeting-place  for  Kappa  Sigmas  of  that  early 
day.  The  Star  and  Crescent,  illuminated  in  the  size  of  the  early 
badges,  appeared  on  Arnold's  note-paper;  he  spoke  much  of  the 
Fraternity,  corresponding  with  his  friends  North  and  Boyd  con- 
tinually, and  often  entertaining  as  his  guests  S.  A.  Jackson  and 
Ed.  Law  Rogers,  Jr.,  the  latter  of  whom  claimed  kinship  with 


THE  FOUNDERS  OF  KAPPA  SIGMA  37 

Mrs.  Arnold  through  their  common  descent  from  the  Maryland 
Laws. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  Arnold  were  for  years  regular  attendants  upon 
St.  James'  Episcopal  church,  New  York,  and  here  for  five  years, 
until  the  demands  of  a  constantly  increasing  practice  obliged 
him  to  abandon  it,  Arnold  had  a  Bible  class  of  young  men,  who 
were  closely  drawn  to  him  by  his  ever  attractive  personality. 

To  Dr.  Arnold  and  his  wife  there  were  born  eight  children. 
Of  the  sad  death  of  five  of  these,  the  widowed  mother  speaks 
seldom  and  with  reluctance.  Three  died  within  one  period  of 
six  weeks ;  after  an  interval  of  five  years,  death  claimed  two  in 
one  day :  and  all  were  carried  off  by  the  same  disease,  diphtheria, 
which  Dr.  Arnold  was  accustomed  to  meet  and  to  vanquish  in 
his  practice,  having  never  lost  a  case.  A  lover  of  his  home  and 
family,  the  effect  of  these  losses  never  left  him.  He  threw  him- 
self more  and  more  earnestly  into  his  active  work,  becoming 
regardless  of  his  own  health ;  and  on  January  25,  1890,  pneu- 
monia due  to  exposure  resulted  in  his  death,  after  an  illness  of 
but  a  few  days.  His  body  reposes  in  Woodlawn  Cemetery.  Mrs. 
Arnold,  with  her  three  living  children,  two  daughters  and  a  son, 
found  a  home  with  her  mother  for  five  years,  until  that  lady's 
death,  and  then  removed  to  her  present  residence,  57  W.  124th 
St.,  New  York.  One  daughter  is  attending  the  New  York  Nor- 
mal College,  and  the  son,  Robert  Miles  Arnold,  aged  now  eigh- 
teen, is  a  student  of  C.  C.  N.  Y. 

Other  Kappa  Sigmas  have  been  better  known  than  Miles  Ar- 
nold, but  none  has  ever  been  better  loved.  Peace  to  his  ashes! 
The  Fraternity  would  have  delighted  in  these  latter  days  to  honor 
him  living;  dead,  it  reveres  his  memory. 

EDMUND  LAW  ROGERS 

The  third  of  the  original  Five,  and  the  designer  of  the  badge  of 
Kappa  Sigma,  was  the  son  of  Edmund  Law  Rogers,  Sr.,  and 
Charlotte  (Plater)  Rogers,  and  was  born  in  Baltimore,  July  1. 
1850.  He  was  descended  through  his  paternal  grandmother  from 
Mrs.  Martha  Custis,  afterwards  the  wife  of  George  Washington ; 
whose   son,   John    Parke   Custis,   early   wedded   pretty   Eleanor 


38  THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 

Calvert,  daughter  of  Benedict  Calvert,  a  head  of  the  old-time 
Maryland  family.  Their  daughter,  Eliza  Custis,  married  Thomas 
Law,  whose  brother,  the  first  Baron  Ellenborough,  was  leading 
counsel  for  Warren  Hastings  before  the  House  of  Lords  in  1788, 
and  Lord  Chief  Justice  of  England  from  1802  to  1818.  Thomas 
Law  was  of  no  less  worth.  Before  coming  to  America,  he  had 
been  governor  of  a  province  in  India,  under  Cornwallis  as  gov- 
ernor-general, in  1786  and  later.  His  devotion  to  his  adopted 
country  was   shown  when,   in    1814,   after  the  burning  of  the 


national  capitol  by  the  British,  he  with  another  purchased  a 
house  in  Washington  and  allowed  Congress  the  use  of  it  as  a 
capitol  building  until  better  quarters  could  be  erected — by  this 
one  act  preventing  the  removal  of  the  capital  of  the  nation  from 
Washington.  Eliza  Law,  daughter  of  Thomas  Law,  married 
Lloyd  Nicholas  Rogers,  of  Baltimore,  and  their  son  was  General 
Edmund  Law  Rogers,  Sr.,  father  of  our  founder. 

The  Rogers  line  was  also  one  of  distinction.    Nicholas  Rogers, 
father  of  Lloyd  Nicholas  Rogers,  was  a  student  in  Scotland  at 


THE  FOUNDERS  OF  KAPPA  SIGMA  39 

the  time  when  the  Revolution  began.  Hurrying  back  to  his 
country  by  way  of  France,  to  give  himself  to  the  cause  of  free- 
dom, he  became  an  aide-de-camp  to  General  de  Coudray,  and  was 
afterward  Baron  de  Kalb's  adjutant  during  the  dreadful  winter 
at  Valley  Forge.  Soon  after  the  close  of  the  Revolution,  Colonel 
Rogers  married  Eleanor  Buchanan,  daughter  of  Lloyd  Buchanan 
and  granddaughter  of  one  of  the  founders  of  Baltimore.  With 
her  there  came  into  the  Rogers  family  the  country-seat  of  five 
hundred  and  fiftv  acres,  then  known  as  "Auchentorolv,"  which

the  city  of  Baltimore  bought  from  Lloyd  Nicholas  Rogers  in 
1859  for  $550,000,  and  which  has  now  become  Druid  Hill,  one 
of  the  surpassingly  beautiful  and  perfect  parks  of  the  world. 
Gen.  Edmund  Law  Rogers,  Sr.,  who  died  about  1895,  was  a 
prominent  and  wealthy  citizen  of  Baltimore,  and  held  many  posi- 
tions of  honor  and  trust  in  the  city  and  state.  His  wife,  Charlotte 
Plater,  was  a  descendant  of  George  Plater,  one  of  the  colonial 
governors  of  Maryland  and  a  member  of  the  Council.  Their 
only  surviving  child  is  Charlotte,  wife  of  Professor  Kirby  Flower 
Smith,  of  Johns  Hopkins. 


40  THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 

Edmund  Law  Rogers,  Jr.,  was  prepared  for  the  University  at 
the  well-known  academy  of  James  Kinnier,  in  Baltimore,  where 
Founder  F.  C.  Nicodemus  was  among  his  classmates.  Entering 
the  University  of  Virginia  in  1869,  he  was  graduated  in  an  aca- 
demic course.  He  then  took  up  the  study  of  architecture.  Thor- 
oughly artistic  in  his  temperament,  none  who  knew  him  doubt 
that  had  he  been  under  the  kindly  spur  of  necessity  he  might 
have  achieved  eminence  in  his  profession,  and,  given  the  ordi- 
nary span  of  life,  have  been  one  of  our  country's  chief  apostles 
of  a  noble  art  which  is  just  now  coming  to  its  own  among  us. 
Private  theatricals  had  given  him  a  liking  for  the  stage.  It 
amused  him  to  act,  and,  free  from  personal  anxieties  and  cares, 
he  enjoyed  the  life  behind  the  footlights.  Handsome  and  clever, 
he  was  always  in  demand  for  leading  parts  and  in  the  support  of 
popular  stars,  from  1880,  when  he  entered  upon  his  stage  career, 
to  the  time  of  his  death.  At  one  time  he  played  in  "stock"  with 
Ada  Rehan,  and  later  he  had  the  part,  which  one  of  his  few 
extant  pictures  shows  to  have  been  easily  assumed  by  him,  of  a 
Southern  planter  in  Boucicault's  drama  of  "The  Octoroon." 
Upon  the  stage  he  was  known  as  Leslie  Edmunds.  Kindly,  pol- 
ished, full  of  quiet  humor,  a  citizen  of  the  world  who  loved  the 
world  in  which  he  dwelt,  his  old  friends  found  much  pleasure  in 
their  continued  association  with  him  while  he  lived.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Lambs  club,  of  New  York,  and  of  the  old  Alston 
club  of  Baltimore.  He  married  Miss  Anna  Carleton,  of  Boston, 
who  survived  him  but  a  few  years.  His  death  occurred  in  New 
York,  December  19,  1893 ;  he  was  buried,  from  the  old  Rogers 
residence  in  Baltimore,  in  the  Buchanan  and  Rogers  burying- 
ground  in  Druid  Hill,  reserved  to  the  family  use  perpetually 
when  the  sale  to  the  city  was  made.  Among  the  pall-bearers 
was  George  Leiper  Thomas,  his  early  brother  in  the  parent  Chap- 
ter of  Kappa  Sigma. 

FRANK  COURTNEY  NICODEMUS 

Frank  Courtney  Nicodemus  is  one  of  the  five  surviving  children 
of  Josiah  Courtney  Nicodemus  and  Mary  Jane  (Montandon) 
Nicodemus,  both  from  old  American  and  Maryland  families ;  and

is  a  native,  and  a  life-long  resident,  of  Baltimore.  One  of  his 
sisters  is  the  wife  of  Edwin  Warfield,  "the  first  gentleman  of  the 
South,"  the  present  Governor  of  Maryland.  Before  entering 
the  University  of  Virginia,  young  Xicodemus  was  a  student  at 
Kinnier's  Academy  in  his  native  city,  where  he  was  associated 
with  Edmund  Law  Rogers,  Jr.  Leaving  the  University  in  the 
spring  of  1870,  he  was  taken  into  the  office  of  his  father's  firm, 
Smith  &  Nicodemus.  In  1874  he  became  a  partner  in  the  same 
firm,  and  in  the  following  year  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his

father,  under  the  title  of  J.  C.  Nicodemus  &  Son.  The  new  firm 
engaged  in  a  general  investment  and  brokerage  business  for  the 
following  four  years.  In  1879,  Brother  Nicodemus  formed  the 
firm  of  F.  C.  Nicodemus  &  Co.,  for  the  manufacture  of  boilers, 
engines  and  machinery;  withdrawing  from  this  firm  in  1885,  he 
became  treasurer  of  the  Baltimore  postoffice.  In  March,  1891, 
he  was  offered  the  general  agency  for  Maryland  of  the  Connecti- 
cut Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company,  which  he  continues  to  hold. 
Brother  Nicodemus  has  been  a  member  of  the  old  Alston  club.

and  of  the  Maryland  club,  of  Baltimore.  He  has  always  had  a 
part  in  the  social  life  of  his  city,  and  has  been  intimately  associ- 
ated with  some  of  the  older  and  younger  Kappa  Sigmas  there. 
He  was  married  March  26,  1879,  in  the  Franklin  Street  Presby- 
terian Church,  Baltimore,  to  Mary  Field  Weeks,  daughter  of 
John  L.  Weeks,  a  member  of  the  Baltimore  firm  of  Woods, 
Weeks  &  Co.  To  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Nicodemus  were  born  four  chil- 
dren :  John  Lee  Nicodemus,  who  is  about  to  become  an  officer  in 
the  regular  army ;  Frank  Courtney  Nicodemus,  Jr.,  a  graduate  of 
the  law  school  of  the  University  of  Maryland  and  a  bright  young 
member  of  the  firm  of  Pierce  &  Greer,  of  New  York,  one  of  the 
strongest  law  partnerships  in  the  United  States ;  Mary  Nico- 
demus; and  Gordon  Kirkland  Nicodemus,  who  has  just  entered 
upon  business  life.  After  the  death  of  his  first  wife,  Brother 
Nicodemus  was  again  married,  in  1891,  to  Miss  Florence  B. 
Smith,  of  Baltimore.  At  181 5  Park  avenue,  Baltimore,  is  the 
pleasant  home  of  the  family. 

JOHN  COVERT  BOYD 

John  Covert  Boyd,  who  has  been  connected  with  the  Navy 
medical  corps  for  more  than  thirty  years,  was  born  December 
24,  1850,  near  Bradford  Springs,  Sumter  county,  South  Carolina. 
His  grandfather  was  Dr.  John  Boyd,  physician  and  planter,  and 
his  father,  William  Simms  Boyd,  was  a  graduate  of  the  South 
Carolina  Medical  College,  though  he  devoted  his  attention  to  the 
management  of  his  estate  rather  than  to  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession. An  ancestor  in  the  paternal  line  was  General  Richard 
Richardson,  1704- 1780,  who  attained  to  distinction  in  the  colonial 
wars  and  in  the  Revolution.  An  account  of  his  services  and  a 
history  of  his  descendants  is  to  be  found  in  Johnson's  "Traditions 
of  the  Revolution,"  and  in  Mrs.  E.  F.  Ellet's  "Women  of  the 
American  Revolution,"  where  the  life  of  General  Richardson's 
wife,  who  was  Elizabeth  Canty,  of  South  Carolina,  is  given. 
John  Covert  Boyd's  mother  was  Laura  Nelson  (Covert)  Boyd,  a 
daughter  of  John  Covert,  a  minister  of  the  Dutch  Reformed 
Church  and  a  graduate  of  Columbia  and  of  Princeton  Seminary. 

After  being  prepared  for  college  in  private  schools  of  Charles-

ton,  S.  C,  John  Covert  Boyd  spent  two  years  at  the  University  of 
Virginia,  from  1869  to  1871,  beginning  the  medical  course  in  the 
second  year.  He  then  entered  the  medical  department  of  the 
University  of  the  City  of  New  York,  from  which  he  received  the 
degree  of  M.D.  in  1872.  After  a  year  as  interne  in  the  Jersey 
City  Charity  Hospital,  he  was  appointed  an  Assistant  Surgeon  in 
the  Navy  medical  corps,  and  since  that  time  has  been  continu- 
ously connected  therewith,  having  risen  through  the  grades  of 
Passed  Assistant  Surgeon,  Surgeon,  and  Medical  Inspector,  to 


that  of  Medical  Director.  The  detailed  record  of  his  career  would 
fill  several  of  these  pages.  He  has  seen  service  both  afloat  and 
ashore;  was  for  eight  years  assistant  to  the  chief  of  the  naval 
Bureau  of  Medicine  and  Surgery;  was  detailed  as  a  delegate  to 
represent  the  medical  department  of  the  Navy  at  a  meeting  of 
th  Association  of  Military  Surgeons  of  the  United  States,  held 
in  Buffalo,  in  1895 ;  was  again  detailed  as  a  delegate  to  the  Inter- 
national Tuberculosis  Congress,  Berlin,  1899.  Since  1902  he  has 
been  a  professor  in  the  Naval  Medical  College.  Washington,  in 


44  THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 

which  institution  he  is  second  in  seniority,  and  a  member  of  the 
Board  for  examination  and  promotion  of  medical  officers. 
Throughout  his  professional  career  he  has  been  the  author  of 
numerous  reports  upon  technical  subjects,  and  he  is  at  present 
engaged,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Surgeon-General  of  the 
Navy,  in  the  preparation  of  a  book  of  instructions  for  medical 
officers,  which  will  make  a  volume  of  four  hundred  pages. 

Dr.  Boyd  is  a  Fellow  of  the  New  York  Academy  of  Medicine ; 
a  member  of  the  Association  of  Military  Surgeons  of  the  United 
States  and  of  the  American  Medical  Association;  an  honorary 
member  of  the  Medical  Society  of  the  District  of  Columbia;  a 
member  of  the  Philadelphia  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  and 
of  the  Archaeological  Institute  of  America.  On  January  16,  1905, 
President  Roosevelt  designated  him  as  one  of  the  incorporators 
of  the  American  National  Red  Cross,  and  appointed  him  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Central  Committee  of  that  body.  On  the  meeting  of  the 
incorporators  he  was  made  a  member  of  the  Executive  Commit- 
tee of  the  Red  Cross.  His  club  membership  includes  the  Metro- 
politan, Washington,  the  Reform,  New  York,  and  the  New  York 
Yacht  Club.  Attractive  and  magnetic,  a  typical  Southerner  and 
a  loyal  American,  Dr.  Boyd  is  known  not  only  as  the  best  in- 
formed man  in  the  Navy,  but  also  as  the  best  loved  man  in  it. 
It  is  said  on  good  authority  that  he  has  to  his  credit  the  highest 
grade  ever  made  in  an  examination  for  Passed  Assistant  Surgeon. 
He  was  married  June  24,  1887,  to  Miss  Katharine  Dorr  Willard, 
of  Washington,  a  daughter  of  C.  C.  Willard,  of  the  well-known 
Washington  family,  and  a  descendant  of  Simon  Willard,  once 
president  of  Harvard.  With  their  son  and  daughter,  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Boyd  occupy  a  delightful  home  at  1315  P  Street,  northwest, 
Washington. 

JOHN  E.  SEMMES 

John  E.  Semmes  was  born  at  Cumberland,  Md.,  July  1,  1851. 
The  Semmes  family  in  America  is  a  distinguished  one,  especially 
in  the  Navy,  and  is  descended  from  Joseph  Semmes,  originally 
of  Norman  ancestry,  who  came  to  Maryland  from  England  in 
1688.     Representatives  of  the  family  living  in  northern  France

offered  their  services  to  Admiral  Semmes  on  board  the  Alabama 
at  Cherbourg  just  before  the  engagement  with  the  Kearsarge. 
The  father  of  John  E.  Semmes  was  Samuel  M.  Semmes,  of  Mary- 
land, a  lawyer  by  profession.  Receiving  his  early  education  under 
private  tutors  and  in  Chestnut  Hill  School,  John  E.  Semmes 
entered  the  University  of  Virginia  October  18,  1869.  He  was 
graduated  upon  the  completion  of  a  course  in  analytical  chemis- 
try, and  soon  afterward  entered  the  Xavy  as  secretary  to  Com- 
modore John  Guest,  his  maternal  uncle.     Later,  he  prepared  for 


the  bar  in  the  law  school  of  the  University  of  Maryland,  and 
entered  the  office  of  the  late  John  H.  B.  Latrobe.  He  is  now  a 
member  of  the  law  firm  of  Steele  &  Semmes,  of  Baltimore,  is 
prominent  at  the  bar  of  that  city,  and  was  at  one  time  city  solici- 
tor. One  of  his  partners,  John  N.  Steele,  was  with  him  at 
Virginia  in  1869-70.  Brother  Semmes  was  married  to  Frances 
Hayward,  daughter  of  Nehemiah  P.  Hayward,  of  New  Hamp- 
shire, and  Prudence  (Carman) Hayward,  a  descendant  of  Cap- 
tain Robert  North,  prominent  in  the  early  history  of  Baltimore.

He  is  a  member  of  the  Maryland  club  and  of  the  Bachelors' 
Cotillion  club  of  Baltimore.  In  the  early  days  of  Kappa  Sigma, 
he  was  an  intimate  associate  of  the  lamented  Rogers. 


SAMUEL  ISHAM  NORTH 

Samuel  Isham  North  was  born  May  14,  1849,  on  his  father's 
farm  in  De  Witt  county,  Texas,  and  received  his  early  education 


in  the  schools  of  that  state.  Early  in  January,  1870,  he  entered 
the  University  of  Virginia,  forming  that  deep  and  lasting  friend- 
ship with  George  Miles  Arnold  which  led  to  North's  early  union 
with  the  just- formed  Fraternity.  The  work  of  Rogers,  Arnold 
and  North,  is  known  to  those  acquainted  with  the  history  of  the 
secret  work  of  the  Fraternity,  and  has  been  spoken  of  in  the 
preceding  chapter,  in  so  far  as  it  may  be  told  in  these  pages. 
After  devoting  some  time  to  academic  studies,  North,  with  Ar- 
nold, entered  upon  the  study  of  medicine,  taking  the  first  year  of 
the  regular  medical  course.     Leaving  Virginia  in  the  spring  of 


THE  FOUNDERS  OF  KAPPA  SIGMA  47 

1 87 1  to  take  the  summer  course  at  the  University  of  New  York, 
he  passed  his  final  examinations  in  September,  1871,  at  the  latter 
institution,  though  on  account  of  a  regulation  as  to  time  of  resi- 
dence the  degree  was  not  conferred  upon  him  until  the  following 
March.  At  that  time,  after  a  competitive  examination,  Dr.  North 
won  the  position  of  interne  at  Roosevelt  hospital,  where  he  served 
eighteen  months.  He  then  became  one  of  sixteen  applicants  for 
interne  at  the  Woman's  hospital,  the  examination  for  which  is 
said  to  be  one  of  the  hardest  in  the  country.  North  won  the  posi- 
tion. The  illness  of  his  father  soon  demanded  his  return  to 
Texas,  and  in  1874  he  began  to  practice  in  Galveston.  Consid- 
erations of  health  necessitated  a  change  of  climate,  and  he  re- 
moved to  Cuero,  in  his  native  county,  and  in  1882  to  Clayton, 
New  Mexico,  where  he  has  since  led  the  self-denying  life  of  a 
busy  doctor ;  the  monotony  of  which  he  has  varied  by  a  successful 
venture  in  Hereford  cattle.  His  fellow-citizens  have  also  pro- 
vided him  with  occupation  for  his  rare  moments  of  leisure  by 
making  him  their  county  superintendent  of  schools. 

On  June  25,  1884,  Dr.  North  married  Eliza  Gordon,  daughter 
of  Jonathan  W.  Gordon,  a  major  of  regulars  and  afterward  a 
celebrated  criminal  lawyer  of  Indianapolis.  Their  son,  Samuel 
Gordon  North,  born  in  1885,  is  attending  Washington  and  Lee 
University,  and  is  an  active  member  of  Mu  of  Kappa  Sigma. 
The  four  hundred  Kappa  Sigmas  who  attended  the  St.  Louis 
Conclave  remember  the  good  gray  doctor,  and  understand  how 
much  of  the  present  beauty  and  strength  of  the  Fraternity  is  due 
to  the  work  performed  by  him,  with  the  lamented  Rogers  and 
Arnold. 

GEORGE  LEIPER  THOMAS 

George  Leiper  Thomas,  the  first  regular  initiate  the  date  of 
whose  initiation  is  precisely  known,  was  born  in  Baltimore,  Sep- 
tember 10,  1852.  His  father  was  John  Henry  Thomas,  a  member 
of  the  Baltimore  bar  for  fifty-four  years,  a  distinguished  and  able 
lawyer,  and  a  graduate  of  Princeton.  After  attending  private 
schools  in  Baltimore,  George  Thomas  went  to  Europe  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1868,  for  a  year  of  study  and  travel.     After  attending

lectures  at  Lausanne  he  went  to  Dresden,  and  was  at  the  Circus 
Renz  on  the  night  of  July  19,  1870,  when  the  performance  was 
brought  to  an  abrupt  end  by  the  announcement,  made  from 
the  ring  by  Renz,  the  proprietor,  of  the  declaration  of  war  by 
France  upon  Germany.  Thomas  then  went  to  Berlin,  where  he 
remained  a  spectator  of  events  until  the  end  of  the  Franco- 
Prussian  war.  Returning  to  America,  he  entered  the  University 
of  Virginia  in  the  fall  of  1870,  and  was  made  a  member  of  Kappa 
Sigma  at  its  first  meeting  of  which  the  contemporary  minute  re- 


mains, November  7,  1870.  He  was  one  of  those  who  lived  in  the 
first  Kappa  Sigma  house  during  the  year  'yo-'yi,  and  many  par- 
ticulars of  the  early  history  may  be  derived  from  his  recollections 
of  the  intimacy  existing  among  the  members,  and  of  their  habits 
and  customs.  He  was  the  intimate  friend  and  associate  of  Ed- 
mund Law  Rogers  until  the  death  of  the  latter,  and  has  kept  up 
his  acquaintance  with  other  pioneer  Kappa  Sigmas.  He  received 
the  degree  of  LL.B.  from  the  University  of  Maryland,  in  1873, 
and  has  practiced  law  in  Baltimore  ever  since. 


THE     EUROPEAN     TRADITION 

The  Fraternity  is  alone  among  the  university  societies  of  the 
country  in  a  traditional  and  legendary  European  origin. 

History  gives  us  the  information  that  there  existed  in  Euro- 
pean universities  secret  orders  among  students.  About  the  year 
1400,  as  is  well  known,  there  came  to  the  oldest  university  in 
the  world,  Bologna,  the  Greek  scholar  Manuel  Chrysoloras 
(I355?-I4I5)  wno  gave  to  the  world  as  his  pupils  many  dis- 
tinguished scholars.  He  was  the  author  of  Erotemata  Quaes- 
tiones,  one  of  the  first  Greek  grammars  used  in  Italy.  He  is  tra- 
ditionally asserted  to  have  founded  at  the  university  a  secret 
Order  of  students  for  mutual  protection  against  Baltasare  Cossa, 
at  that  time  governor  of  the  city,  who  practiced  extortion  upon 
the  students,  even  sending  out  bands  of  his  followers  to  rob  them 
as  they  approached  the  university.  The  Order  continued  to 
exist,  and  spread  first  to  the  University  of  Florence,  and  then  to 
the  other  three  of  the  five  great  universities — Paris,  Orleans  and 
Montpelier.  The  lodges  or  circles  among  these  scholars  were 
known  as  Kohaths.  They  flourished  throughout  the  revival  of 
learning,  enrolling  the  names  of  Bruni,  Politian,  the  de  Medicis, 
Michael  Angelo,  Chalcondylas,  Bracciolini,  and  many  others — 
poets,  artists  and  wits.  At  one  time  it  was  intended  to  name  all 
of  the  American  chapters  after  these  celebrities. 

In  modern  times  the  Order  became  practically  extinct,  but  its 
secrets  and  symbols  are  said  to  have  been  preserved  by  a  few 
noble  families  of  Italy  and  France — principally  in  the  de  Bardi 
family.  Its  ritual,  not  a  sophomore  document,  and  peculiarly 
appropriate  to  a  university  society,  is  reminiscent  of  both  the 
lower  and  higher  degrees  of  Masonry. 


THE  EUROPEAN  TRADITION 


51 


Enough  of  these  traditions  and  legends  have  grown  up  about 
the  Order  for  a  dozen  more  degrees  for  degree  makers.  A  few 
of  them,  referring  to  familiar  symbols  of  the  Fraternity  may  be 
here  explained.  Lorenzo  de  Medici,  "II  Magnifico,"  who  was  a 
patron  of  the  Order  in  its  beginning,  adopted  the  caduceus,  an

emblem  of  Mercury,  as  his  private  seal.  Hence  the  use  of  the 
emblem  by  Kappa  Sigma,  and  name  of  the  magazine  of  the  Fra- 
ternity. The  motto  of  the  University  of  Bologna  was  Bononia 
docet  mundum  or  Bononia  docet.  This  is  the  open  motto  of 
Kappa  Sigma,  and  suggests  the  mission  which  Kappa  Sigma 
hopes  to  realize  in  the  new  world  as  Bologna  did  in  the  old.

THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 


Referring  to  the  traditional  origin,  Alexander  Yerger  Scott,  of 
Mississippi,  the  Conclave  orator,  at  the  Grand  Conclave  at  Look- 
out Mountain,  1906,  said : 

"We  are  here,  gathered  together  from  the  furthest  confines  of 
our  beloved  country ;  from  the  North,  the  East,  the  West  and  the 
South,  actuated  by  like  desires,  centered  upon  a  single  purpose

and  inspired  by  identical  ideas  and  ideals ;  and  that  which  inspires 
us,  the  good  we  seek,  is  not  selfish  but  unselfish,  not  personal,  but 
impersonal,  and  is  represented  to  us  by  a  name — that  name, 
Kappa  Sigma. 

"It  is  this  I  would  have  you  consider  with  me.     Kappa  Sigma 
is  known  to  the  outside  world  as  a  college  fraternity,  a  secret

organization  for  boys;  a  thing  for  their  amusement;  a  passing 
phase  of  youthful  experience  and  pleasure.  You  and  I  know  dif- 
ferently of  Kappa  Sigma,  whatever  may  be  said  of  others,  for  we 
have  within  our  hearts  the  esoteric  teachings  of  our  beloved  Fra- 
ternity, and  we  know  it  is  something  more,  much  more,  than  a 
thing  to  amuse  a  schoolboy,  and  to  be  discarded  with  the  toga. 


KAPPA   SIGMA   HOUSE.  ().  S.   V. 


We  know  that  Kappa  Sigma  represents  within  itself,  and  stands 
for,  the  great  truth  that,  express  it  how  or  when  or  where  we 
will,  from  the  first  dawn  of  recorded  history — aye,  beyond  that, 
turn  we  back  the  pages  of  the  eternal  ages  and  dip  into  the  past 
as  we  will — resolves  itself  into  this,  the  Fatherhood  of  God  and 
the  Brotherhood  of  Man. 

"Our  fraternity  rests  not  its  foundation  upon  recorded  his-

tory.  We  cannot,  with  exactitude,  say  when  nor  where  nor  how 
the  thing  we  call  Kappa  Sigma  had  its  birth,  any  more  than  we 
can  say  when  the  light  first  begins  to  break  over  a  darkened 
world;  nor  when  nor  where  man  first  became  a  living,  breathing- 
spirit  reflecting  the  qualities  of  Deity.  Looking  back  into  the 
dim  past,  we  find  this  central  truth  of  life  first  expressed  in  myth 
and  in  symbol ;  in  the  esoteric  teachings  of  eastern  religions,  the 
Zend  Avestas,  the  Dhammapodas,  the  Vedas,  the  Koran ;  in  the 
Bibles  of  the  men  that  have  come  and  gone ;  in  the  myths  of 
Greece  and  Rome ;  in  the  Sagas  of  the  Northmen ;  and  the  tradi-

tions  of  savages  express  in  some  form  the  same  idea- — enmeshed, 
it  may  be,  in  much  that  is  unbelievable,  much  that  is  absurd  to  our 
modern  scientific  mind.  So  the  central  truth  of  Kappa  Sigma 
comes  to  us  like  the  central  truth  of  life — through  legend  and 
through  tradition. 

"Tradition — did  you  ever  think  what  a  tradition  is ;  its  power, 
its  value,  its  utility  ?  Traditions  are  not  made  by  any  man,  but  by 
time  alone.  A  tradition  cannot  be  proved.  It  cannot  be  dis- 
proved. It  rests  alone  upon  faith — belief — and  that  is  the  power 
of  tradition,  for  faith  is  the  greatest  power  in  all  the  universe.  .  .  .

"Happy,  then,  that  nation  and  that  people  who  believe.  That 
their  tradition  be  true  or  false,  reasonable  or  unreasonable,  is  of 
little  moment,  so  that  it  is  believed. 

"My  brothers,  do  you  realize  that  Kappa  Sigma  shares  with  the 
Masonry  the  privileges  of  having  a  traditional  origin,  and  that 
these  two  secret  orders,  so  far  as  I  know,  are  the  only  two  that 
cannot  point  with  historic  accuracy  to  the  date  of  their  founding, 
without  resort  to  tradition — to  a  time  beyond  which  their  written 
history  extends — for  a  beginning?    The  Masons  date  their  origin

at  the  building  of  King  Solomon's  temple,  and  the  sole  and  only 
proofs  they  have  of  this  tradition  are  the  esoteric  teachings  in 
their  ritual.  What  one  of  you  does  not  know  that  this  tradition —

sought  to  bring  out  of  darkest  night  a  resplendent  day,  who

"But  I  like  to  think  that  the  God  of  nations  and  of  men  held  in 
reserve,  from  the  beginning,  another  noble  mission  for  our  Fra- 
ternity— the  mission  of  aiding  in  binding  up  and  healing  the 
wounds  of  a  nation — and  it  has  ever  seemed  to  me  that  Kappa 
Sigma's  refounding,  after  it  has  winged  its  gentle  way  across  the 
dread  Atlantic,  was  prophetic  of  its  mission  and  lends  verity  to 
its  early  legends. 

"Thirty-seven  years  ago,  in  the  little  village  of  Charlottesville, 


KAPPA   SIGMA   HOUSE,   PURDUE 


nestling  in  a  beautiful  valley  of  the  Alleghenies,  within  the  shad- 
ows of  Monticello,  the  historic  home  of  America's  greatest  com- 
moner, amid  the  classic  columns  and  colonnades  of  the  University 
inspired  by  his  genius,  our  beloved  fraternity  was  born  again. 
The  boom  of  the  cannon  at  Appomattox  still  reverberates  in  the 
distance.  Fraternal  blood  yet  crimsons  Virginia's  tragic  soil. 
Where  peace  and  plenty  had  found  their  wonted  home,  poverty 
was  abroad  in  the  land.  Fields,  once  molten  with  billowy  oceans 
of  golden  grain,  languidly  rolling  as  the  gentle  southern  zephyrs 


THE  EUROPEAN  TRADITION

played  hide  and  seek  mid  their  million  glittering  tassels,  now  lay 
fallow,  silently  pleading  for  the  dominion  of  the  plow.  Palatial 
homes,  where  once  the  lute  made  glad  music  'neath  the  southern 
summer  skies,  and  silvery  laughter  rippled  from  merry  lips,  and 
beaming  eyes  flashed  with  love  and  life,  now  lay  in  smouldering 
ruins.  Eyes  that  had  sparkled  were  dull  with  tears.  Hearts  that 
had  burgeoned  and  blossomed  with  love  now  shrivelled  with  bit- 
terest hate.  War,  grim-visaged  and  dread,  had  stalked  through- 
out the  land  for  four  long  years,  and  all  was  desolation — all  was 
ruin.  And  yet  it  was  there,  amid  these  scenes,  that  our  beloved 
Kappa  Sigma  had  its  new  birth.  It  was  in  the  halls  of  our  Fra- 
ternity that  a  part  of  the  youth  of  the  country  began  to  close  the 
doors  of  the  four  years  of  hell  this  people  had  lived.  There  we 
began  to  learn  that  love  and  not  hate,  peace  and  not  war,  are 
the  laws  of  life — to  know  that  there  was  no  North  and  no  South, 
but  one  great  country ;  that  there  was  no  Northerner,  no  South- 
erner, but  all  Americans,  blood  of  the  same  blood,  bone  of  the 
same  bone,  brothers  in  truth  and  in  fact,  united  in  indissoluble 
union. 

"And  so  my  brothers,  on  behalf  of  Kappa  Sigma  in  the  South,  I 
welcome  you  with  all  my  heart.  We  know  one  another  and  we 
love  one  another,  for  Kappa  Sigma  is  Love." 


EXTENSION  OF  THE  FRATERNITY 


Unlike  many  fraternities  and  most  of  those  which  originated 
in  the  South,  Kappa  Sigma  was  never  intended  to  be  a  sectional 
fraternity.  The  men  who  founded  her  at  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia in  1869  were  not  of  small  ideas.  When  Founder  McCor- 
mick  and  other  founders  from  Baltimore  returned  to  that  city 
from  the  university  in  1870,  they  engaged  splendid  apartments  on 
Lombard  Street  for  fraternity  purposes.  Here  was  to  be  the 
Alpha  Chapter,  at  the  South's  old  medical  school,  the  University 
of  Maryland.  But  the  time  was  inopportune,  and  the  Chapter 
did  not  make  its  appearance  till  1875,  when  Dr.  A.  C.  Heffenger, 
(Zeta)  later  to  be  passed  assistant  surgeon  in  the  navy,  an  emi- 
nent writer  and  medico-legal  expert,  initiated  a  number  of  gen- 
tlemen. In  1 87 1,  when  Founders  Arnold  and  North  went  to  Belle- 
vue,  New  York,  they  were  given  powers  by  the  parent  Chapter 
to  initiate  Dr.  Henry  Seeley  Welch,  of  San  Francisco,  which 
they  accordingly  did.  Dr.  Welch  was  to  install  a  Chapter 
at  the  University  of  California,  but  he  also  found  the  time  in- 
opportune. Under  a  similar  dispensation,  it  was  in  New  York 
at  Bellevue,  that  Dr.  George  Wyatt  Hollings worth  (Beta)  was 
initiated  to  establish  Beta  at  the  University  of  Alabama,  the  sec- 
ond Chapter.  It  should  be  noted  that  there  were  no  fraternities 
at  this  time  at  California  nor  at  Alabama — the  beginning  of  the 
wise  policy  of  extension  of  Kappa  Sigma.  There  were  also  hopes 
of  a  Chapter  in  New  York  City,  to  be  called  New  York  Delta, 
and  to  draw  its  members  from  all  New  York  City  colleges — an- 
other brilliant  scheme  of  the  dashing  Dr.  Arnold.  Thus  of  the 
first  four  Chapters  contemplated,  one  was  in  the  far  South  at 
Alabama,  one  in  the  middle  tier  of  states  at  Maryland,  one  in

day  to  come  into  existence  in  the  most  national,  from  a  geo- 
graphical  standpoint,   of   all   the    fraternities. 

It  was  not,  however,  until  1873,  that  the  mother  Chapter  took 
np  the  extension  movement  in  earnest.  In  that  year  a  Chapter 
was  placed  by  Dr.  James  H.  Durham  at  Trinity  College,  North 
Carolina,  drawing  its  members  mainly  from  the  old  Hesperian 
Society  of  that  college.     From  that  day  to  this,  time  has  wit-

other  Greek  letter  organization. 

It  was  but  natural  that  the  Fraternity  should  first  plant  suc-

kinsmen  of  its  members.  Besides,  the  war  had  disrupted  nearly 
all  college  organizations  in  that  section,  the  field  for  the  running

and  fraternity  material  in  the  Southern  homes  of  the  most  in- 
tensely thoroughbred  of  Americans  was  of  the  best.  Notable 
as  are  the  founders  for  their  connections,  so  also  may  this  be  re- 
marked of  all  the  Fraternity's  early  members,  for  no  society  had 
brethren  of  higher  social  status  than  did  Kappa  Sigma  in  all  her 
early  years.  Among  those  who  assisted  in  building  up  the  organ-

Tyler  and  Jefferson  Davis,  Generals  Albert  Sidney  Johnston, 
Joe  Wheeler,  Walker,  Taliaferro,  Wright,  and  Stubblefield,  of

families  of  the  South.  A  number  were  the  sons  of  men  prominent 
in  the  history  of  other  fraternities. 

Before  Kappa  Sigma  had  a  Northern  Chapter,  she  had  eleven 
institutional  seats  in  the  South — at  Virginia,  the  keystone  of 
Southern  education,  with  its  graduates  influencing  America,  the 
Harvard  of  the  South ;  Alabama,  whose  sons  have  illustrated  the

America,  and  an  inspiration.  In  some  cases  their  incomes  and 
student  bodies  are  not  so  large  as  some  of  their  newer  Northern 
and  Western  sisters.  Yet  their  buildings  and  equipment  are  of 
the  best,  for,  following  the  classical  courses,  they  do  not  need 
large  sums  for  technical  apparatus,  and  their  professors  are 
willing  to  work  for  a  spiritual  reward.    The  tone  of  their  student

bodies  is  unexcelled  in  the  United  States.     With  the  prosperity 
of  the  new  South,  even  many  are  becoming  rich  in  money. 

The  only  period  not  of  the  highest  prosperity  known  to  the  Fra- 
ternity was  the  college  generation  of  four  years  from  1880  to 
1884.  This  was  due  to  no  lack  of  interest  among  Kappa  Sigmas, 
but  to  a  peculiarly  sad  and  universal  condition  of  a  lack  of  pros- 
perity of  Kappa  Sigma  colleges  in  the  unsettled  condition  of  the

South,  and  to  assaults,  by  anti-fraternity  laws,  on  Kappa  Sigma 
Chapters. 

In  the  movement  into  Southern  colleges,  the  name  of  the  im- 
mortal Kappa  Sigma,  Stephen  Alonzo  Jackson — "Lon  Jackson" — 
is  enshrined  in  the  heart  of  every  Kappa  Sig.  The  son  of  a 
banker,   a   mystic,   an   idealist,   and   advanced    in    Masonry,   this

golden-hearted  Virginian  ruined  his  fortune  in  behalf  of  the 
Order.  "S.  A.  Jackson  Day,"  the  fourth  of  March,  was  ordered 
to  be  regularly  observed  among  Kappa  Sigmas,  by  the  Richmond 
Grand  Conclave  of  1894. 

It  was  not  until  1880  that  Kappa  Sigma  established  a  Chapter 
in  the  North.  Then  it  was  that  a  number  of  the  members  of 
the  Zeta  Epsilon  literary  society  at  Lake  Forest  petitioned  for

and  received  a  charter.  This  was  the  first  Northern  Chapter  of 
a  fraternity  of  Southern  origin.  The  Chapter  survived  only  till 
1882,  for  knowledge  of  membership  in  it  meant  expulsion  from 
the  college.  A  second  petition  for  a  Chapter  at  another  Northern 
college  was  received  from  an  organization  which  had  withdrawn 
from  its  general   fraternity,  but  this  petition  was  rejected.     In

1885,  a  Chapter  was  organized  at  Purdue.  From  this  point  on- 
ward is  a  history  of  the  conquest  of  the  North  and  West.  The 
Fraternity  now  has  the  longest  roll  of  all  the  fraternities — seven- 
ty-six Chapters.  It  has  the  widest  geographical  distribution  of 
the  fraternities,  being  represented  in  more  states  of  the  Union 
than  any  other — having  Chapters  in  thirty-five  states,  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia  and  the  coming  state  of  Oklahoma.

KAPPA  SIGMA   HOUSE,   MISSOURI 


sectarian  colleges  in  the  North,  where  fraternities  in  the  past  had 
most  of  their  chapters,  and  shunned  them.  At  the  same  time, 
she  prophesied  the  splendid  future  of  the  state  institutions — the 
result  of  the  congressional  acts  of  1862  and  later — and  other 
institutions  founded  since  the  civil  war.  Fraternities  of  Northern 
origin  in  these  places  had  no  more  prestige  due  to  the  age  of 
their  chapters  than  did  Kappa  Sigma.  The  fraternity  thus  found 
opportunities  in  the  North  and  West  similar  to  those  she  had 
met  in  the  South — the  best  universities,  and  these  not  overcrowd- 
ed by  Greek  letter  societies.  At  present  in  the  leading  seats  of 
American  educational  progress — the  state  schools,  colleges,  and

universities — Kappa  Sigma  has  a  larger  number  of  Chapters  than 
any  other  fraternity.  Nearly  fifty  per  cent  of  them  are  so  located. 
She  is  also  represented  in  all  but  four  of  the  twenty  universities 
in  the  United  States  having  the  largest  enrollment — Harvard. 
Columbia,  California,  Northwestern,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  Cor- 
nell, Illinois,  Yale,  Chicago,  Pennsylvania,  Nebraska,  Syracuse, 
New  York,  Ohio  State,  Missouri,  Princeton,  Indiana,  George 
Washington  and  Stanford.  Of  these  four — Princeton,  Columbia. 
Northwestern  and  Yale — Princeton  does  not  admit  fraternities. 
Alumni  familiar  with  the  situation  in  the  next  two  institutions 
mentioned,  in  New  York  and  Chicago  respectively,  have  repeat- 


KAPPA  SIGMA   HOUSE,    BAKER 


edly  advised  against  entering  Columbia  or  Northwestern.  Both 
are  crowded  with  fraternities,  and  conditions  at  Columbia  seem 
to  demand  the  ownership  of  a  very  costly  house  to  start  with. 
No  movement  looking  toward  Yale  has  ever  received  encourage- 
ment, for  reasons  recently  expressed  by  President  Hadley  of  that 
university — "A  large  part  of  the  fraternities  are  not  even  known 
by  their  Greek-letter  names.  .  .  .  When  I  want  to  know 
what  is  the  Greek-letter  name  of  any  organization,  I  have  to  look 
it  up  in  the  Yale  Banner.  Even  those  societies  like  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon  or  Psi  Upsilon,  which  have  retained  their  Greek-letter 
names  in  common  parlance,  are  never  known  as  fraternities,  but 


72

as  societies;  and  when  they  go  to  conventions  the  delegates  have 
to  cram  up  on  purpose  to  find  out  what  is  the  grip,  or  what  the 
Greek-letters  stand  for,  or  any  other  supposed  secrets  of  the 
fraternity." 

Kappa  Sigma  was  the  pioneer  fraternity  of  Southern  origin  in 
the  seven  Northern  states  of  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Illinois, 
Indiana,  Wisconsin,  West  Virginia  and  Minnesota.  This  does 
not  take  into  account  the  powers  extended  to  Dr.  George  Miles 
Arnold  in  1871,  by  the  Virginia  Chapter  to  initiate  from  New 
York  City  colleges.     Kappa  Sigma  has  been  the  pioneer   fra- 


KAPPA  SIGMA  HOUSE,  PENNSYLVANIA 


ternity  of  Southern  origin  in  fifteen  Northern  colleges  :  Bowdoin, 
Case,  Dartmouth,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Lake  Forest,  Maine,  Minne- 
sota, New  Hampshire,  New  York,  Purdue,  Swarthmore,  Syra- 
cuse, West  Virginia,  and  Wisconsin.  She  has  been  the  second 
oldest  fraternity  of  Southern  origin  in  a  number  of  Northern 
institutions,  having  been  preceded  by  Alpha  Tau  Omega  at 
Brown,  Pennsylvania,  Vermont  and  Washington  and  Jefferson ; 
and  similarly  preceded  by  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  at  Harvard, 
Bucknell  and  Dickinson,  and  by  Sigma  Nu  at  the  University  of 
Iowa.  An  examination  of  the  history  of  Kappa  Sigma's  Chapter 
roll — North,  South,  and  West — shows  that  at  present  or  at  some 


EXTENSION  OF  THE  FRATERNITY  73 

time  in  their  careers,  twenty-two  of  her  Chapters  are  or  have  been 
the  first  chapters  founded  or  the  oldest  chapters  on  account  of 
continuous  existence  in  their  respective  universities. 

Many  Chapters  have  been  formed  from  local  and  other  so- 
cieties, thus  giving  a  Chapter  an  element  of  stability  at  its  incep- 
tion, this  policy  being  as  marked  in  Kappa  Sigma  as  in  any  other 
fraternity.  Yet  it  has  never  sought  to  add  the  names  of  United 
States  senators  and  other  prominent  men  to  its  alumni  lists  by 
enrolling  them  without  initiation  or  active  affiliation — an  abuse 
in  some  fraternities.  Indeed,  conservatism  in  this  regard  led  to 
the  breaking  off  of  negotiations  for  union  of  Kappa  Sigma  with 
two  other  general  fraternities.  Until  1902,  the  initiation  of 
alumni  of  local  societies  was  prohibited ;  since  then  under 
certain  restrictions  it  has  been  permitted.  Those  Chapters 
formed  from  other  societies  are :  Emory  and  Henry  ( Phi  Mu 
Omicron),1  Washington  and  Lee,  as  reestablished  in  1904  (Mu 
Pi  Lambda),2  Lake  Forest  (Lambda  Phi),3  Grant,  as  reestab- 
lished (The  Secret  Fraternity)  ;  Hampden-Sidney  (Phi  Mu 
Gamma)  ;  Maine  (K.  K.  F. — Roman  letter)  ;  Bucknell  (Phi  Ep- 

1  Some  of  the  members  of  the  Emory  and  Henry  chapter  and  several 
members  of  other  chapters  of  Phi  Mu  Omicron  were  admitted  into  Kappa 
Sigma  in  1879.  This  society  was  founded  at  South  Carolina  College  in 
1858,  and  is  the  second  oldest  of  the  defunct  societies  of  Southern  origin. 
It  also  had  chapters  at  Wofford,  Charleston,  Emory,  Newberry,  and  Emory 
and  Henry.  Its  badge  was  a  monogram  of  the  letters  comprising  the  name 
of  the  society.  Members  of  the  first  southern  Kappa  Alpha  joined  Phi 
Mu  Omicron  in  1866.  Kukloi  Adelphon  or  "circles"  nourished  as  select 
organizations  among  the  southern  gentry  before  the  war  in  the  colleges 
and  also  in  the  "court"  towns  or  county  seats  in  Alabama,  Virginia,  Ken- 
tucky and  other  southern  states.  After  the  war,  in  the  Reconstruction 
period,  these  kukloi  formed  a  basis  for  the  Ku  Klux  Klan. 

2  The  Washington  and  Lee  chapter  of  Mu  Pi  Lambda  was  the  mother 
chapter  of  that  fraternity,  founded  in  1895,  and  also  having  chapters  at 
Virginia,  Harvard,  West  Virginia,  and  William  and  Mary.  At  Jefferson's 
home,  "Monticello,"  Virginia,  in  1904,  the  society  disbanded.  The  William 
and  Mary  chapter  joined  Theta  Delta  Chi;  part  of  the  Virginia  chapter 
joined  Phi  Delta  Theta  and  Kappa  Sigma.  Its  badge  was  a  five-sided  shield 
displaying  the  letters,  Mu  Pi  Lambda,  beneath  an  eye  and  above  the  skull 
and  bones.     It  published  a  quarterly,  the  Archon.

When  the  Michigan  Chapter  was  founded  its  membership  was  at 
first  confined  to  the  law  school,  similar  to  Sigma  Chi  in  that 
University. 

The  few  and  short  periods  of  inactivity  of  Kappa  Sigma  Chap- 
ters are  remarkable  to  contemplate.  Of  the  large  fraternities 
having  over  fifty  Chapters,  Kappa  Sigma  has  the  smallest  per- 
centage of  dead  or  inactive  Chapters.  A  number  of  the  Chapters 
have  become  victims  of  anti-fraternity  legislation.  Those  at  Vir- 
ginia Military  Institute,  Emory  and  Henry  and  the  Virginia 
Polytechnic  Institute  were  forced  out  through  these  regulations. 
The  Alabama  Chapter  was  killed  by  anti-fraternity  laws  shortly 
after  its  foundation,  and  was  revived  in  1899.  Hostile  legislation 
caused  the  inactivity  of  the  Vanderbilt  Chapter  from  1880  to 
1885,  although  anti-fraternity  laws  prevailed  from  the  foundation 
of  the  university  in  1875.  The  Lake  Forest  Chapter  was  also 
inactive  on  account  of  hostile  legislation  from  1882  to  1896.  The 
inactivity  of  the  South  Carolina  Chapter  commenced  with  Senator 
Ben  Tillman's  anti-fraternity  legislation  in  the  South  Carolina 
Legislature  in  1897. 

Exclusiveness  caused  the  Washington  and  Lee  Chapter  to  be- 

4  Q.  T.  V.  was  the  first  technical  fraternity  to  have  more  than  one  chap- 
ter, being  founded  at  Massachusetts  State  College,  in  1869.  It  had  chapters 
at  Massachusetts  State,  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Pennsylvania  State, 
Worcester  Polytechnic  and  Cornell.  The  Pennsylvania  State  chapter  joined 
Phi  Kappa  Sigma  and  the  Maine  chapter  joined  Phi  Gamma  Delta.  The 
fraternity  published  a  handsome  quarto  journal  from  Boston  and  a  cata- 
logue in  1886.  The  badge  was  a  diamond-shaped  slab  upon  which  is  en- 
graved a  monogram  of  the  letters  "Q.  T.  V." 

5  This  society,  established  in  1868  at  Massachusetts  State,  was  the  first 
technical  fraternity  ever  founded.  It  published  a  catalogue  in  1879  and 
issued  for  many  years  an  annual  called  the  Cycle,  which  it  continues.

come  inactive  in  1877.  It  was  reestablished  in  1888,  but  with  the 
overcrowded  condition  of  the  institution,  fraternities  pledging  men 
on  incoming  trains,  it  was  withdrawn  in  1900.  It  was  again 
installed  in  1904  by  the  absorption  of  the  mother  Chapter  of  Mu 
Pi  Lambda.  The  Chapter  at  the  University  of  Maryland  was 
withdrawn  in  1875  on  account  of  an  unseemly  conflict  with  the 
Rush  Medical  Society  of  that  University.  It  was  revived  in  1890 
with  the  privilege  of  drawing  membership  from  both  Maryland

and  Johns  Hopkins  universities,  but  was  again  withdrawn  be- 
cause of  the  laxity  of  organization  from  which  city  Chapters 
suffer.  It  was  revived  in  1898  and  from  that  date  has  been  very 
successful.  By  agreement,  all  fraternities,  owing  to  the  fact 
they  were  supposed  to  be  ruining  the  literary  societies,  withdrew 
from  Trinity  in  1879;  the  Chapter  was  revived  in  1892.  The 
Chapters  at  Grant  and  West  Virginia  were  discontinued,  the  first 
for  lack  of  material,  the  second  on  account  of  local  difficulties. 
Internal  dissensions  affecting  the  Indianapolis  or  Butler  Chapter,

caused  its  withdrawal.  The  Chapter  at  Emory  College  was  dis- 
continued on  account  of  failure  of  members  to  return  to  college 
and  the  desire  of  the  Fraternity  not  to  remain  in  the  institution, 
the  last  Kappa  Sigma  being  valedictorian  of  his  class.  Several 
causes  led  to  the  withdrawal  of  the  Indiana  Chapter  in  1888:  the 
Chapter  was  reestablished  in  1900,  and  prospers.  The  Chapter 
at  Centenary  was  the  first  established  there  after  the  Civil  War. 


KAPPA  SIGMA   HOUSE,   WISCONSIN 


but  was  withdrawn  in  1904  on  account  of  the  decline  of  the  col- 
lege, due  to  agitation  over  its  removal.  The  Chapters  at  Ohio 
Northern  and  Thatcher  Institute  were  withdrawn  because  these 
colleges  were  not  considered  to  be  up  to  the  full  American  collegi- 
ate standard.  The  Chapter  at  Bethel  College  surrendered  its 
charter  on  account  of  lack  of  suitable  material.  The  Mercer 
Chapter  was  withdrawn  in  1879  during  a  wretched  period  in  the 
college's  history,  and  was  installed  again  in  1891.     The  Chapter 


EXTENSION  OF  THE  FRATERNITY  11 

at  Kentucky  State  College  is  regarded  as  a  continuation  of  the 
Chapter  at  Kentucky  University,  the  latter  having  been  with- 
drawn on  account  of  the  desire  not  to  have  two  Chapters  in  the 
same  town.  The  Chapter  at  North  Georgia  College  surrendered 
its  charter  with  a  decline  of  the  institution.  When  the  Maryland 
Military  and  Naval  Academy,  the  most  important  military  insti- 
tute of  private  foundation  ever  established  in  the  country,  was 
financially  wrecked  by  its  officers  in  1887,  the  Chapter  there  ceased 
to  exist. 

The  Fraternity's  relations  with  other  societies  have  been  cor- 
dial. The  first  numbers  in  the  following  give  the  number  of  all 
the  Chapters  of  various  fraternities  met  by  Kappa  Sigma,  and 
the  second  numbers  the  percentage  of  such  Chapters  to  the  entire 
Chapter  roll  of  each  fraternity :  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon,  45,  68  per 
cent;  Phi  Delta  Theta,  41,  59  per  cent ;  Sigma  Nu,  36,  65  per  cent; 
Beta  Theta  Pi,  33,  49  per  cent ;  Phi  Gamma  Delta,  ^,  58  per  cent ; 
Kappa  Alpha  (Southern  Order),  33,  67  per  cent;  Sigma  Chi,  31, 
57  per  cent ;  Delta  Tau  Delta,  27,  56  per  cent ;  Alpha  Tau  Omega, 
27,  53  per  cent;  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  23,  55  per  cent;  Pi  Kappa  Al- 
pha, 21,  72  per  cent;  Phi  Kappa  Sigma,  18,  72  per  cent;  Delta 
Kappa  Epsilon,  16,  39  per  cent;  Delta  Upsilon,  16,  44  per  cent; 
Psi  Upsilon,  12,  55  per  cent;  Zeta  Psi,  12,  55  per  cent;  Theta 
Delta  Chi,  12,  50  per  cent;  Chi  Phi,  11,  55  per  cent;  Chi  Psi,  10, 
56  per  cent ;  Alpha  Delta  Phi,  9,  38  per  cent ;  Phi  Sigma  Kappa, 
8,  42  per  cent ;  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon,  5,  38  per  cent ;  Sigma  Phi,  4, 
50  per  cent ;  Delta  Phi,  4,  36  per  cent ;  Delta  Psi,  2,  25  per  cent ; 
Kappa  Alpha  (Northern  Order),  2,  29  per  cent;  Alpha  Chi  Rho, 
2,  33  per  cent. 

Kappa  Sigma  has  always  opposed  "lifting,"  repeatedly  re- 
fusing propositions  of  this  kind,  although  when  such  a  practice 
was  considered  legitimate,  in  1880,  it  took  several  members  of 
the  Virginia  Polytechnic  Chapter  of  Beta  Theta  Pi,  after  the 
Betas  had  surrendered  their  charter.  However,  the  giving  up 
of  the  charter  was  in  no  way  influenced  by  Kappa  Sigma.  The 
charge  that  Kappa  Sigma  lifted  the  Iowa  Chapter  of  Alpha  Chi 
Rho  is  unsupported  by  facts.  The  Phi  Epsilon  Society  of  Buck- 
nell,  which  became  a  Chapter  of  Kappa  Sigma,  was  formed  some

time  before  by  members  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon,  who  had  with- 
drawn, they  asserted,  for  just  cause,  from  the  latter  fraternity. 
In  1904,  membership  in  the  sophomore  society  of  Theta  Nu  Ep- 
silon was  prohibited.  The  names  of  Kappa  Sigmas  may  be 
found  in  all  other  famous  inter-class  local  and  professional  fra- 
ternities. 

A  Kappa  Sigma,  Dean  Charles  W.  Burkett  of  N.  C.  A.  and  M., 
founded  the  technical  fraternity  Alpha  Zeta.  Another  Kappa 
Sigma,  Powell  C.  Fauntleroy,  of  the  U.  S.  Navy,  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  Pi  Mu,  the  first  medical  fraternity  of  Southern 
origin.  One  of  the  founders  of  Chi  Omega,  a  prosperous  national 
sorority  of  Southern  origin,  was  Dr.  Charles  Richardson,  of 
Arkansas. 

The  following  is  the  Chapter  roll  of  Kappa  Sigma.  For  more 
detailed  references  to  it,  see  Appendix  B.  In  order  there  are 
date  of  foundation,  name  of  Chapter,  name  of  university,  date

While  Kappa  Sigma  is  proud  of  her  sons  who  are  distinguished 
in  the  country's  intellectual,  political  and  material  life,  of  her  Chap- 
ter roll  of  famous  institutions,  of  her  enthusiastic  graduate  clubs, 
yet  she  has  always  emphasized  the  fraternal  harmony  and  fellow- 
ship, and  high  ideals,  that  mark  a  Kappa  Sigma  brother,  wherever 
you  may  find  one,  throughout  life,  until  death.  While  some  fra- 
ternities count  their  disloyal  members  by  dozens  and  even  by 
Chapters,  Kappa  Sigma  has  had  but  a  few  isolated  cases  where  an 
undergraduate  left  the  Fraternity  to  join  another.  These  sep- 
arate cases  occurred  a  number  of  years  ago  in  the  North,  while 
the  Fraternity  was  young. 

Thus,  this  congenial  society  of  scholars  and  gentlemen  do  not 
allow  their  fraternal  associations  to  die  when  they  leave  their 
universities.  Good-fellowship,  and  not  scholastic  pedantry  alone, 
was  emphasized  by  the  American  founders.  There  are  Alumni 
Clubs  all  over  the  country  where  dinners  and  dances  keep  up  a 
delightful  friendship.  Toasts  to  Kappa  Sigma  have  been  heard 
at  dinner  at  all  the  famous  resorts  from  the  Palace  Hotel  in  San 
Francisco  to  the  Waldorf-Astoria  in  New  York  and  from  the 
Auditorium  in  Chicago  to  the  St.  Charles  in  New  Orleans.  Many 
of  these  events  are  becoming  traditional,  such  as  the  ''Norfolk 
Fish  Fry,"  the  "Dutch  Treat"  at  Denver,  the  "French  Dinner"  at 
San  Francisco,  the  "Round  Table"  at  Washington,  the  "Thanks- 
giving Dinner"  at  Kansas  City,  the  "New  England  Initiation 
Dinner"  at  Boston,  the  "New  York  Annual,"  the  "Philadelphia 
Dinner,"  the  "Big  Chicago  Dinner,"  the  "Danville  New  Year's 
Dinner,"  and  many  more.  In  many  of  the  leading  cities — St. 
Louis,  Los  Angeles,  Seattle,  New  York,  Chicago,  Salt  Lake,  New 
Orleans,    San    Francisco,    Washington,    Denver,    Boston,    Pitts-

burgh  and  possibly  others — it  is  customary  for  Kappa  Sigmas  to 
meet  once  a  week  for  lunch  in  some  selected  restaurant  in  the 
center  of  the  business  district.

The  alumni  spirit  once  caused  an  Alumni  Chapter  to  be  formed 
without  the  confines  of  the  United  States,  at  Chihuahua,  Mexico, 
the  first  foreign  alumni  chapter  of  any  fraternity.  At  one  time 
there  were  state  associations  of  the  Chapters  and  alumni  of  Ten- 
nessee, Louisiana,  Texas  and  Virginia,  but  these  were  abandoned 
when  the  District  system  was  adopted.  A  club-house,  the  first 
of  its  kind  at  Washington,  D.  C,  was  supported  by  the  alumni 
of  that  city  during  1902  and  1903.  It  was  successful,  but  was 
temporarily  given  up  in  order  that  a  club  building  more  central- 


THE  ALUMNI  87 

ly  located  in  the  club  district  might  be  obtained,  a  task  almost  im- 
possible. The  University  of  Maryland  house  is  used  with  and 
supported  jointly  by  the  alumni  of  Baltimore  as  a  club-house  for 
the  latter.  The  New  York  alumni  are  now  forming  a  corporation 
to  acquire  and  furnish  a  club-house ;  such  New  York  clubs  have

been  successful  with  at  least  two  fraternities.     Boston  alumni 
are  considering  a  similar  scheme. 

The  accompanying  map  shows  the  number  of  Kappa  Sigmas  in 
each  state  and  also  every  town  where  a  Kappa  Sigma  may  be  lo- 
cated.    No  one  section  can  claim  a  monopoly  of  them.     Notice

how  Pennsylvania  and  Texas  balance  each  other,  or  New  York 
and  Mississippi,  or  Illinois  and  Georgia. 

Membership  in  the  Fraternity  is  restricted.  No  one  may  be 
initiated  unless  he  be  a  member  of  the  college  where  there  is  a 
Chapter.  In  one  case,  the  general  Fraternity  conferred  honorary 
membership,  and  thereby  honored  itself,  upon  Jefferson  Davis,

president  of  the  Confederate  States  of  America.  The  President's 
son,  Jefferson  Davis,  Jr.,  was  a  member  at  Virginia  Military 
Institute.  The  president  and  his  family  have  always  had  a  pe- 
culiarly tender  affection  for  the  Fraternity.  To  both  Mrs.  Davis 
and  Miss  Winnie  Davis,  the  general  Fraternity  has  presented 
badges,  and  Mrs.  Davis  was  never  seen  without  her  Kappa  Sigma 
insignia.  Miss  Davis'  badge  was  thought  to  be  the  most  beauti- 
ful Greek  letter  fraternity  badge  ever  produced.     However,  the

society  is  as  much  Northern  as  it  is  Southern.  The  same  Grand 
Conclave  which  sent  the  badge  to  Mrs.  Davis  also  sent  one  to 
Mrs.  Grant,  widow  of  the  President,  whose  favorite  grandson. 
Capt.  Algernon  E.  U.  Sartoris,  is  a  Kappa  Sigma.  A  number 
of  other  scions  of  the  White  House  are  members. 

A  complete  list  of  the  names  of  prominent  alumni  would  be 
tiresome.  Kappa  Sigmas  are  to  be  found  in  all  places  where  the 
prizes  of  American  life  are  being  won.  There  are  men  of  national 
and  international  proportions  in  Wall  Street,  the  Army  and  Navy, 
in  Congress,  as  heads  of  large  corporations,  college  presidents,  re-

formers,  railroad  officials,  State  officers,  editors  of  magazines 
and  newspapers,  and  with  world-wide  reputations  as  captains 
of  industry,  lawyers,  physicians  and  litterateurs.  Kappa  Sigma, 
so  thoroughly  American,  views  with  a  special  pride  its  record  in 
the  Spanish- American  war,  wherein,  according  to  the  publications 
of  other  fraternities,  it  had  a  larger  percentage  of  men  engaged 
in  proportion  to  its  membership  than  any  other  Greek  letter  or- 
ganization. There  were  Kappa  Sigmas  from  privates  to  general 
officers.  True  to  its  ancient  literary  origin  in  Europe,  members 
of  the  Order  established  the  first  English  newspaper  in  the  Phil- 
ippines and  the  first  all-English  newspaper  in  Cuba. 


THE        GOVERNMENT 

The  Fraternity  was  first  governed  by  Zeta,  or  the  mother  Chap- 
ter, at  the  University  of  Virginia.  In  July,  1876,  a  Grand  Con- 
clave was  called  at  the  old  Eutaw  House,  Baltimore.  Here 
was  instituted  the  Supreme  Executive  Committee,  a  body  of 
legislative,  judicial,  and  executive  powers.  Greater  authority 
was  added  to  it  by  the  Richmond,  Virginia,  Conclave,  in  October, 
1878.  During  a  period  in  1884,  the  Committee  was  relieved  of 
much  purely  secretarial  work  when  Omega  Chapter,  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  the  South  attended  to  much  detail  as  a  grand  Chapter. 
But  from  1878  to  the  present  there  has  been  a  government  not 
precisely  similar  to  that  of  any  other  college  fraternity.  Many 
have  a  central  body  similar  to  the  Supreme  Executive  Committee. 
Following  what  is  known  as  the  "Masonic  tradition" — for  Mason- 
ry makes  its  officers  supreme — hardly  any  other  society  leaves  that 
governing  body  so  free  to  act  for  the  best  interests  of  the  Fra- 
ternity in  all  things  which  may  come  up  for  consideration  be- 
tween regular  Conclaves.  The  Fraternity,  as  a  whole,  responds 
promptly  and  cheerfully  to  the  direction  of  the  S.  E.  C.  In  fact, 
this  body  has  wielded  more  influence  and  attained  better  results 
in  several  instances  in  the  government  of  students  than  college 
presidents.  The  Fraternity  has  come  into  closer  contact  with  col- 
lege faculties  than  any  other,  for  once  a  year  the  S.  E.  C.  inquires 
directly  of  the  college  authorities  concerning  the  scholarship  and 
general  record  of  the  members  of  each  Chapter,  acting  upon  the 
replies  as  may  be  needed. 

Difficulties  with  faculties  over  opposition  to  fraternities  are 
almost  things  of  the  past.  For  years  at  Emory  and  Henry,  there 
was  an  unceasing  war.     Such  was  the  case  at  Virginia  Polytech- 


92 


THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 


nic  Institute.  At  the  latter,  General  Lomax  and  President  Davis, 
of  the  Confederacy,  were  brought  into  the  discussion.  The  Fra- 
ternity faced  the  obnoxious  regulations  at  the  opening  of  Vander- 
bilt,  for  the  first  year  maintaining  one  of  the  most  successful 
sub  rosa  chapters  ever  in  existence — as  did  Phi  Delta  Theta  at 
a  slightly  later  period — but  finally  succumbed.  Anti-fraternity 
laws  coupled  with  the  rigid  military  discipline  at  the  "West  Point 
of  the  South,"  the  Virginia  Military  Institute,  killed  the  Chapter. 


THE   EUTAW  HOUSE,   BALTIMORE 
Where  the  First  Grand  Conclave  was  held,  1876 


For  the  first  two  years  at  Lake  Forest,  knowledge  of  membership 
meant  expulsion  from  the  college.  There  was  trouble  over  ad- 
mission of  the  Fraternity  to  the  University  of  the  South,  but  the 
influence  of  General  E.  Kirby  Smich  and  President  Jefferson 
Davis,  exerted  in  behalf  of  Kappa  Sigma,  made  the  course  pos- 
sible. The  hardest  fight  ever  made  in  behalf  of  fraternities  in 
American  colleges  has  taken  place  in  Arkansas  where  the  con- 
test has  been  carried,  under  the  leadership  of  the  Arkansas  Chap-

ter  and  its  alumni,  into  the  'legislature.     The  result  is  still  in  the 
balance. 

The  records  of  the  various  offices  of  the  Fraternity  are  very 
complete  and  voluminous.  By  the  use  of  blank  forms  for  reports 
to  and  from  the  Chapters,  they  have  been  highly  systematized 
and  brought  up  to  the  latest  methods.  It  has  been  the  policy  of 
the  Fraternity  to  train  certain  of  the  officers  of  the  S.  E.  C.  as 
specialists,  and  these  have  held  their  positions  for  years.     Even 


BUSINESS  OFFICE  OF    KAPPA   SIGMA,   DANVILLE,   VIRGINIA 


with  their  complete  knowledge  of  the  Fraternity's  workings,  they 
are  compelled  to  devote  almost  half  their  time  to  it — practically 
a  labor  of  love  with  them. 

The  members  of  the  Supreme  Executive  Committee  are  a 
Worthy  Grand  Master,  a  Worthy  Grand  Procurator,  a  Worthy 
Grand  Master  of  Ceremonies,  a  Worthy  Grand  Scribe  and  a 
Worthy  Grand  Treasurer.  The  other  national  officers  are  a 
songbook  editor,  a  catalogue  editor,  a  historian  and  an  alumni 
secretary.

For  purposes  of  administration,  the  Fraternity  is  divided  into 
fourteen  Districts.  The  geographical  limits  of  these  are  shown 
on  accompanying  maps.  At  the  head  of  each  is  a  District  Grand 
Master.  He  personally  oversees  the  Chapters,  resulting  in  the 
complete  unification  and  understanding  among  them,  and  keep- 
ing the  work  of  each  individual  Chapter  up  to  the  standard. 
He  is  also  expected  to  know,  and  to  keep  in  touch  with  every 
alumnus  residing  in  his  District. 

While  the  greater  part  of  the  government  is  delegated  to  the

Supreme  Executive  Committee,  still  the  ultimate  and  highest 
authority  in  the  Fraternity  is  the  Grand  Conclave.  The  Con- 
claves' legislation  in  the  past  has  been  intended  to  hamper  as 
little  as  possible  the  powers  of  the  S.  E.  C.  Conclaves  have  been 
held  as  follows:  Baltimore,  Md.,  1876;  Richmond,  Ya.,  1878; 
Abingdon,  Ya.,  1880;  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  1883;  Lynchburg,  Va., 
1885;  Nashville,  Tenn.,  1887;  Atlanta,  Ga.,  1888;  Baltimore,  Md.,

visiting  is  done  principally  by  members  of  the  S.  E.  C.  and  D. 
G.  M's.  The  number  of  alumni  meetings  in  Kappa  Sigma  is 
frequently  remarked. 


UNIVERSITY 

OF 


HOMES      OF      KAPPA      SIGMA 


The  Fraternity  has  always  insisted  upon  chapter  houses  when 
possible.  In  1870,  the  house  occupied  at  the  University  of  Vir- 
ginia was  one  of  the  first  fraternity  houses  in  the  country  and  the 
first  fraternity  house  in  the  South.  In  1882,  the  house  occupied 
by  the  Chapter  at  the  University  of  the  South  was  among  the 
first  houses  owned  and  occupied  in  that  section.  In  1883,  at  the 
Knoxville  Conclave,  Kappa  Sigma  made  the  first  attempt  to 
control  the  building  of  houses,  by  the  national  organization  of  a 
fraternity.  This  was  a  failure,  and  it  has  since  been  the  policy 
to  place  responsibility  on  the  individual  Chapters.  In  1895,  Kap- 
pa Sigma  erected  a  house  at  Maine,  the  Fraternity's  first  Northern 
chapter  house  to  be  owned  and  the  first  fraternity  house  in  the 
state  of  Maine.  The  three  fraternities  now  having  the  largest 
number  of  homes  are  Beta  Theta  Pi,  Phi  Delta  Theta,  and  Kappa 
Sigma. 

It  is  but  a  matter  of  time  before  all  Chapters,  where  there 
are  no  restrictions  by  college  authorities,  even  if  houses  are  not 
the  vogue,  will  be  compelled  by  their  general  organizations  to 
possess  a  home.  At  present  there  are  Kappa  Sigma  houses  at 
the  following  institutions:  Maine,  Bowdoin,  Xew  Hampshire. 
Massachusetts  State,  Harvard,  Cornell,  Syracuse,  Pennsylvania 
State,  Pennsylvania,  Lehigh,  Maryland,  George  Washington, 
William  and  Mary,  Wofford,  Vanderbilt,  University  of  the  South, 
Ohio  State,  Case,  Washington  and  Jefferson,  Michigan,  Purdue. 
Indiana,  Illinois,  Lake  Forest,  Chicago,  Wisconsin,  Minnesota. 
Iowa,  Nebraska,  William  Jewell.  Missouri  State,  Missouri  Mines, 
Baker,  Arkansas,  Oklahoma,  Millsaps,  Louisiana  State,  Texas, 
Colorado,    Colorado   Mines,    Stanford,    California,    Washington.

Oregon,  Idaho.    Some  Chapters  occupy  whole  sections  of  college 
dormitories. 

Some  of  the  houses  are  noted  in  the  fraternity  world.  That 
at  one  Eastern  institution  has  been  described  as  "the  best  planned 
at  Cornell" ;  that  at  Texas,  "the  best  house  owned  in  the  South" ; 
that  at  Iowa,  "the  most  elegant  house  in  the  Middle  West" ;  that 
at  Stanford  "the  finest  house  on  the  Pacific  Coast."  Some  of 
them  have  been  historic.  One  recently  occupied  by  the  Maryland 
Chapter  was  the  Baltimore  home  of  General  Robert  E.  Lee.  The 
one  now  occupied  at  Missouri  Mines  was  the  headquarters  of  the 


KAPPA   SIGMA    HOUSE,   CORNELL 


Army  of  the  Missouri  during  the  civil  war.  The  Harvard  house 
at  Cambridge,  Mass.,  and  the  William  and  Mary  at  Williamsburg, 
the  ancient  capital  of  Virginia,  both  stand  on  historic  ground. 
At  the  California  and  Colorado  houses,  in  the  midst  of  the  two 
American  playgrounds,  many  alumni  visit,  making  these  Kappa 
Sigma  seats  their  headquarters.  More  or  less  all  the  houses  in 
the  large  centers  are  on  many  occasions  utilized  for  this  purpose. 
The  Virginia  Chapter  and  the  remainder  of  the  Fraternity  have 
collected  funds  for  a  house  for  the  mother  Chapter  as  a  memorial, 
to  be  known  as  "McCormick  Hall."

THE        PUBLICATIONS 


The  publications  of  the  Fraternity  are  extensive.  From  the  lit- 
tle pamphlet  struck  off  on  a  press  of  the  Virginia  Polytechnic 
Institute  by  Dr.  C.  E.  Wingo  and  William  Freneau  Page,  they 
have  grown  to  the  point  where  the  periodical  literature  alone  is 
over  a  thousand  pages  annually,  probably  a  larger  amount  than 
of  any  other  fraternity.  Believing  that  a  wide  acquaintance  among 
its  members  is  one  of  its  sources  of  strength,  the  organization 
fosters  all  efforts  of  this  kind.  The  most  important  publication 
of  any  Greek  letter  society  is  its  magazine ;  in  the  case  of  Kappa 
Sigma  known  as  The  Caduceus. 

Previous  to  1878,  there  had  been  several  spasmodic  attempts 
by  various  fraternities  to  found  magazines,  but  with  two  excep- 
tions, these  were  unsuccessful  and  but  a  few  numbers  were  is- 
sued. The  period  from  1878  to  1885  saw  productions  of  this  kind 
placed  on  a  sound  basis,  although  most  of  those  established  by  the 
New  England  fraternities  have  since  failed.  At  first,  it  was 
argued  that  Kappa  Sigma  was  of  too  secret  a  nature  for  an  open 
publication.  However,  the  Lynchburg  Conclave  of  1885  author- 
ized the  issuance  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  Quarterly.  Brought  up  in 
the  cultivated  and  literary  home  of  his  father,  General  Terry  of 
the  Confederacy,  Frank  Hanson  Terry,  now  a  newspaper  man 
of  Wytheville,  Va.,  was  elected  the  first  editor.  In  1887,  Ed.  L. 
Sutton,  now  managing  editor  of  the  Semi-Weekly  Atlanta  Journal. 
became  editor,  and  continued  as  such  till  the  Baltimore  Conclave 
of  1890.  This  convention  made  the  magazine  a  bi-monthly,  and 
changed  its  name  to  The  Star  and  Crescent,  rechristened  be- 
fore issue  The  Caduceus  of  Kappa  Sigma.  During  1891,  Duncan 
Martin,  now  of  the  Memphis  bar,  was  editor.   From  1892  to  1895.

the  brilliant  but  erring  George  William  Warner  was  editor.  J. 
Harry  Covington,  of  the  Maryland  bar,  was  editor  from  1895 
to  1905.  During  1905  and  until  June,  1906,  Professor  Finis  King 
Farr,  of  Cumberland,  was  in  charge.  The  last  and  present  edi- 
tor is  Guy  T.  Viskniskki,  of  the  McClure  News  Syndicate. 

The  Caduceus  is  now  in  its  twenty-first  volume.  It  has  never 
less  than  176  pages  in  each  of  its  five  issues  for  the  year.  At 
least  forty  pages  are  given  to  alumni  notes.     Due  notice  is  taken

of  all  important  college  and  fraternity  matters,  the  interests  of 
Kappa  Sigma  receiving  the  most  attention.  Illustrations  are 
abundantly  used,  the  five  numbers  of  1905- 1906  containing  two 
hundred  and  forty  half-tones.  It  has  been  pronounced  the  peer 
of  any  magazine  ever  issued  from  the  Greek  press.  It  is  also 
among  those  claiming  the  honor  of  the  largest  circulation. 

The  first  Catalogue  of  the  Fraternity  was  prepared  in  1881 
by  S.  A.  Jackson.  Another  edition  by  Brother  Jackson  appeared 
in  1886.    In  1897  was  published  a  Directory  of  Kappa  Sigma,  by

George  Vaughan,  now  of  the  Arkansas  bar.  For  a  number  of 
years  a  history  and  catalogue,  complete  in  every  detail,  was  in 
course  of  collection  by  this  gentleman.  Had  this  catalogue  been 
published,  it  would  have  been  in  some  respects  one  of  the  most 
complete  ever  issued  by  a  college  fraternity.  Kappa  Sigma  began 
at  a  very  early  date  after  her  origin  to  collect  the  "college  honors" 
of  her  membership,  which  honors  are  lacking  for  early  members

in  most  fraternity  catalogues.  All  of  these  records  were  com- 
pletely destroyed  by  fire  at  Little  Rock,  Ark.  The  accident  was 
peculiarly  unfortunate.  In  1904  a  pocket  Address  Book  was  pub- 
lished under  the  direction  of  David  F.  Hoy,  registrar  of  Cornell 
University  and  now  Catalogue  Editor  of  the  Fraternity. 

In  1906  Brother  Hoy  issued  a  second  and  enlarged  edition  of 
the  Address  Book.     He  has  collected  complete  data  for  another

to  keep  up  with  it.  The  Fraternity,  like  four  others,  issues  a 
secret  bulletin  in  addition  to  its  regular  magazine.  This  is  The 
Star  and  Crescent,  which  appears  quarterly.  It  contains  reports 
of  officers,  and  other  official  communications  to  the  Fraternity, 
items  of  fraternity  news  of  such  a  nature  that  their  publication 
in  The  Caduceus  would  be  improper,  and  in  general  all  such 
things  as  concern  the  inner  workings  of  the  Fraternity.  A 
unique  publication  is  The  Secret  Book  of  Kappa  Sigma.    It  gives.

from  a  Kappa  Sigma  standpoint,  of  course,  the  "standing"  or 
"rating"  of  all  fraternities  and  of  the  chapters  of  each  fraternity 
in  Kappa  Sigma  colleges.  Reports  of  Chapters  and  circular  re- 
ports of  various  offices  of  the  Fraternity  are  voluminous.  The 
Yellow  Journal  is  issued  from  the  office  of  the  Worthy  Grand 
Master,  and  circulates  onh  among  the  national  officers.  All 
Chapters  are  required  at  least  annually,  to  send  out  a  letter  to 
their  alumni,  most  of  these  letters  being  printed.  The  Boston 
Alumni  have  published  an  address  book  of  the  alumni  of  New 
England.     There  are  other  locality   directories  published  under 


KAPPA   SIGMA  HOUSE,   NEBRASKA 


different  auspices  for  states  and  cities.  The  Cumberland,  Maine, 
North  Georgia,  Maryland  Military  and  Naval,  Wofford  and 
Massachusetts  Chapters  have  issued  annuals.  The  Chapters  at 
the  University  of  the  South,  Centenary,  and  Vermont  have  writ- 
ten histories.  The  Illinois,  Swarthmore,  Wabash,  Purdue  and 
Massachusetts  Chapters  have  issued  catalogues.  The  general 
Fraternity  has  had  printed  Kappa  Sigma  calendars.  In  1896 
the  Bowdoin  Chapter  issued  a  small  songbook.  A  songbook 
was  published  by  the  Fraternity  in  1902.  Another  is  in  process 
of  collection.  There  are  a  number  of  pamphlets  containing  Kappa 
Sigma  songs  and  poems.     There  are  three  editions  of  the  ritual

and  five  editions  of  the  Constitution.    Many  reports  of  Conclaves 
have  been  printed  under  separate  covers. 

Kappa  Sigma  has  been  very  fortunate  in  the  preservation  of 
its  history.  This  has  been  chiefly  due  to  the  fact  that  it  was  but 
twelve  years  between  the  time  the  third  Chapter  was  established, 
the  records  of  the  second  Chapter  having  been  lost,  and  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  Fraternity's  magazine.    Also  the  early  documents, 


KAPPA  SIGMA   HOUSE,  WASHINGTON   AND  JEFFERSON 


so  frequently  missing  in  many  fraternities,  were  all  collected  and 
preserved  at  an  early  date.  The  events  in  the  Fraternity's  his- 
tory, previous  to  the  existence  of  the  magazine,  which  have  not 
been  covered  by  historical  articles  in  the  Quarterly,  Caduceus,  Star 
and  Crescent,  and  catalogues,  are  preserved  in  the  recently  pub- 
lished Early  Letters  and  Papers  of  Kappa  Sigma,  compiled  by 
Boutwell  Dunlap,  now  historian  of  the  Fraternity.  Freshmen 
are  examined  upon  the  Fraternity's  history. 


OTHER        FRATERNITIES 

Some  years  ago  it  was  customary  to  classify  fraternities  on  a 
basis  of  their  origin,  into  Eastern  or  Northern,  Southern  and 
Western.  They  are  now  usually  classified  as  either  national  or 
sectional.  "The  national  fraternities  include  those  generally 
represented  in  all  sections  of  the  country.  Of  these  Beta  Theta 
Pi,  Phi  Delta  Theta,  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon,  Sigma  Chi,  Kappa 
Sigma,  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  and  Phi  Gamma  Delta  are  prominent 
types.  The  sectional  fraternities  are  Eastern  and  Southern.  The 
Eastern  group  consists  of  Alpha  Delta  Phi,  Delta  Phi  Theta, 
Delta  Chi,  Sigma  Phi,  Psi  Upsilon,  Kappa  Alpha  (Northern) 
and  Delta  Psi.  The  Southern  group  includes  Kappa  Alpha 
(Southern  order),  and  Pi  Kappa  Alpha.  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon 
and  Chi  Psi,  originating  in  the  Eastern  States,  have  what  might 
be  termed  a  limited  national  development.  Alpha  Tau  Omega, 
Kappa  Sigma,  Sigma  Nu  and  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon,  originally 
distinctively  Southern,  have  completely  lost  that  character.  Zeta 
Psi  and  Chi  Psi  are  difficult  to  classify."  (Baird's  Manual  of 
American  College  Fraternities,  Sixth  edition.)  The  sectional 
fraternities  were  once  more  important  than  they  now  are.  In 
most  cases  they  have  few  petitions  for  charters  and  seldom  es- 
tablish new  chapters.  They  have  failed  to  take  advantage  of  the 
larger  new  institutions,  maintaining  many  chapters  in  unimpor- 
tant colleges.  Their  conventions  are  attended  by  a  small  number 
of  members.  Lacking  in  alumni  clubs,  they  hold  but  few  meet- 
ings in  the  large  centers,  and  these  seldom  attract  any  attention. 
The  fraternities  are  not  a  living  reality  to  their  alumni  and  the 
alumnus'  active  connection  is  soon  lost.  Their  literature  is  con- 
fined to  catalogues,  which  quickly  grow  out  of  date,  and  they 
publish  no  magazines.     The  funds  and  membership  are  not  suf-

ficient  to  carry  on  the  enterprises  of  the  national  orders.  As 
fraternities  they  attract  little  attention.  Collegians  prefer  the 
national  fraternities,  says  a  recent  writer  of  authority  upon  the 
subject. 

The  parent  stem  of  the  Greek  letter  college  fraternity  was 
Phi  Beta  Kappa,  established  at  William  and  Mary  in  1776.6  It 
was  extended  to  Yale  (1780),  Harvard  (1781),  Dartmouth 
(1787),  and  Union  (1817).    Modeled  after  Phi  Beta  Kappa  was

Baird's  American  College  Fraternities.  The  following  fraternities 
have  published  manuals  or  histories :  Psi  Upsilon,  Phi  Delta 
Theta,  Beta  Theta  Pi,  Theta  Delta  Chi,  Phi  Kappa  Psi,  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon,  and  Kappa  Sigma.  There  is  historical  matter, 
principally  devoted  to  chapter  histories  and  ranging  from  a  para- 
graph to  several  pages  on  a  chapter,  in  the  catalogues  of  Alpha 
Delta  Phi,  Chi  Phi,  Chi  Psi,  Delta  Upsilon,  Kappa  Alpha  (North-

Epsilon,  Sigma  Chi,  Sigma  Nu,  and  Theta  Delta  Chi.  The  best 
defense  of  fraternities  is  a  collection  of  views  upon  the  subject 
by  forty-eight  college  presidents  under  the  title,  The  American 
College  Fraternity,  edited  by  W.  A.  Crawford,  K.  S.  The  most 
complete  bibliography  of  fraternities  is  contained  in  W.  B.  Palm-

128  THE  KAPPA  SIGMA  BOOK 


Familiar  tongues  that  faintly  call, 

Remembered  songs  of  days  gone  by, 
Dim  echoes,  they  too  softly  fall 

On  ears  that  hunger  for  reply; 
For  memory  wakes  and  love  makes  cry 

In  tones  of  greeting  and  of  praise, 
"To  you  I  drain  the  health-cup  dry, 

Old  comrades  of  my  college  days." 

Whate'er  your  emblems,  hail  to  all ! 

Because  ye  loved  them  so  shall  I ; 
'Tis  sweet  each  old  friend  to  recall ; 

The  Shield  and  Diamond,  Sigma  Chi, 
D.  U.,  Phi  Gam,  and  every  Phi 

I  loved;  ye,  Theta  Delts,  K.  A's, 
And  Dekes — greeting  to  all  I  cry, 

Old  comrades  of  my  college  days. 

Good  cheer  and  blessing  to  ye  all, 

Old  friends  of  days  that  shall  not  die : 
Like  sunbeams  dancing  on  the  wall 

May  all  the  happy  moments  fly. 
Companions  still,  may  ye  and  I, 

Though  straying  far  on  several  ways, 
Remember  well  the  days  gone  by, 

Old  comrades  of  my  college  days. 


But,  Brothers,  as  the  seasons  fly, 

While  bright  the  Star  and  Crescent  blaze, 
Still  closer  grows  our  nearer  tie, 

Old  comrades  of  my  college  days.
